vi. Except as disclosed by ACM to ARLP and ART in writing and accepted in

warrants to ART and ARLP that:
i. ACM is in possession of a file relating to each of the Initial Assets
which contains (1) each of the documents required to evidence ACM's
interest in the Initial Asset (including all promissory notes, security
agreements, guarantees and other agreements that evidence or secure
such Initial Assets) and (2) when applicable, certain other documents
relating to the underlying property (the "Initial Asset File");
ii. Immediately prior to the assignment of each Contributed Asset to ARLP,
ACM was the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of each
Contributed Asset, except for the right, title, interest, lien and
security interest of (A) RFC under the Warehousing Credit Facility, (B)
Nomura under the Nomura Repurchase Agreement, (C) Bear Xxxxxxx under
the Bear Xxxxxxx Repurchase Agreement; and ACM transferred each
Contributed Asset to ARLP free and clear of any Lien, except for the
Liens described in this Section 4(b)(ii); in the event that ARLP's
interest in a Bridge Loan is deemed to be a security interest, such
security interest is valid, perfected and of first priority; in the
event that ARLP's interest in a Mezzanine Loan is deemed to be a
security interest, such security interest is valid, perfected and is a
first priority lien on the pledged ownership interest related to the
Mezzanine Loan;
iii. Neither the notes relating to the Initial Assets (the "Initial Asset
Notes") nor the Initial Assets are subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor
will the operation of any term of the Initial Asset Notes or the
Initial Assets, nor the exercise of any right thereunder, render the
Initial Asset Notes or Initial Assets unenforceable, in whole or in
part, except to the extent enforcement may be limited by (A) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting creditor's
rights generally, or (B) general equitable principals, regardless of
whether the issue of enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or
defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted;
iv. Up to and including the Closing, all payments required to be made with
respect to an Initial Asset under the terms of the related Initial
Asset Note have been made before the end of any grace or cure period
for such payment. ACM has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or
received any advance of funds from a party other than the obligor on
the related Initial Asset Note (the "Obligor"), directly or indirectly,
for the payment of any amount required by the Initial Asset Note. There
has been no delinquency beyond the end of any applicable period of
grace in any payment by the Obligor under the terms of any Initial
Asset Note;
v. The Initial Asset Note relating to each Initial Asset has been endorsed
to ARLP in a form and in a manner sufficient to convey to ARLP all
right, title and interest therein of ACM in all relevant jurisdictions,
except to the extent that a recording or other filing is required to
transfer such Initial Asset;
vi. To the best of ACM's knowledge, based upon an opinion of Obligor's
counsel, each Initial Asset at origination did not violate any
applicable federal, state or local law;
vii. With respect to each Initial Asset that relates to a property that is
secured by a mortgage in favor of ACM (each a "Mortgaged Property"), a
title insurance policy insuring the lien created by such mortgage was
effective on the date of ACM's financing of such Initial Asset, such
policy is valid and remains in full force and effect, and, to the best
of ACM's knowledge each such policy was issued by a title insurer
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the applicable
Mortgaged Property is located, which policy insures either ACM or the
original holder of the Initial Asset as to the Lien of the Initial
Asset; no claims have been made under such title insurance policy and
no prior holder of the applicable Initial Asset, including ACM, has
done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of
such title insurance policy;
viii. To the best of ACM's knowledge based upon its review of the related
title insurance policy, each mortgage related to a Mortgaged Property
(A) is properly recorded (or, if the mortgage related to such Mortgaged
Property was created within 30 days prior to the date of this Agreement
and is not yet recorded, the mortgage relating to such Mortgaged
Property has been submitted for recording, is in form and substance
acceptable for recording and, when properly recorded, will be
sufficient under the laws of the jurisdiction wherein the Mortgaged
Property is located to reflect record of the Lien of such Mortgaged
Property) and the mortgage relating to the Mortgaged Property is a
valid, continuing and enforceable lien (subject only to the matters
described in the next sentence) on the Mortgaged Property, including
all improvements on the Mortgaged Property owned by the Obligor, all
other fixtures on the Mortgaged Property owned by the Obligor and all
additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect
to the foregoing, and (B) provides for an assignment of leases and
rents from the Mortgaged Property, or, if the related Initial Asset
does not so provide, a separate assignment of mortgage was executed by
the Obligor, was properly recorded (or, if such mortgage was created
within 30 days prior to the date this Agreement and is not yet
recorded, such mortgage has been submitted for recording, is in form
and substance acceptable for recording and, when properly recorded,
will be sufficient under the laws of the jurisdiction wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located to reflect record of the Lien of such
assignment) and creates a valid, existing and enforceable lien and
security interest on the leases and rents from the related Mortgaged
Property and other property described therein. The Lien on each
Mortgaged Property is subject only to (1) the Lien of current real
property taxes not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public
record as of the date of recording that are acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally, are specifically referred to in
lender's title insurance policy delivered to ACM and are taken into
account in determining, or do not materially adversely affect, the
appraisal value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) other matters to
which like properties are commonly subject that do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by
such Initial Asset or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the
related Mortgaged Property;
ix. In the case of a Mortgaged Property, the security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document delivered in connection with the
Mortgaged Property establishes and creates a valid, continuing and
enforceable Lien and security interest in all furniture, fixtures and
equipment on or used in connection with the related Mortgaged Property
and other property described therein. Either a Uniform Commercial Code
financing statement has been filed and/or recorded in all places
necessary to perfect a valid security interest in the personal property
subject to the Lien of the Mortgaged Property or any separate security
agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document or, in the case of a
Mortgaged Property created within 30 days prior to the date of this
Agreement, ACM has a right to file a Uniform Commercial Code financing
statement with respect to the personal property subject to the Lien of
such Mortgaged Property or any separate security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document and upon such recordation and/or filing
thereof in all necessary places, ACM will have a perfected and valid
security interest in such personal property;
x. There are no delinquent taxes or assessment liens against any Mortgaged
Property;
xi. There are no mechanics' liens or initiation of a mechanics' lien
affecting any Mortgaged Property, except those (A) that are insured
against by a title insurance policy, (B) that are subordinate to the
Lien of the related Initial Asset, if applicable or (C) the payments
required for such work, labor or materials are not yet due and payable,
or if due and payable and unpaid are the subject of a good faith
contest;
xii. To the best of ACM's knowledge based on the appraisal or engineering
report produced at the origination of the Initial Asset, except to the
extent that it was contemplated at the time of the origination of the
Initial Asset that repairs, restorations and improvements would be made
to the underlying property, each related property is in good repair and
free of structural defects, damage, waste and defects in any
mechanical, electrical, plumbing and safety systems therein that would
materially and adversely affect the value of such related property, and
there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation
thereof. Except to the extent that it was contemplated at the time of
the origination of the Initial Asset that repairs, renovations and
improvements would be made to the building system and the related
property, as applicable all building systems are in good working order
subject to ordinary wear and tear. ACM inspected the related property
in connection with the origination of the related to the Initial
Assets;
xiii. There is no material default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Initial Asset or the Initial Asset Note
and no event that, with the passage of time, or with notice and the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder;
xiv. Each Initial Asset and related Initial Asset Note is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity,
regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law. All parties to each Initial Asset had legal capacity
to execute such Initial Asset and related Initial Asset Note, and each
Initial Asset has been duly and properly executed by such parties and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each party
thereto, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity,
regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law;
xv. Each Initial Asset contains customary and enforceable provisions that
render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
practical realization
against the applicable collateral securing the Initial Asset (the
"Collateral") of the benefits of the security intended to be provided
thereby;
xvi. With respect to each Initial Asset constituting a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such
Initial Asset, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable to
the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a
trustee's sale after default by the Obligor;
xvii. The improvements upon each property related to an Initial Asset are
covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a
generally acceptable carrier, which policy provides for fire, extended
coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the
property related to an Initial Asset is located representing coverage
not less than the outstanding principal balance of the related Initial
Asset or the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss
of the improvements thereon on a replacement cost basis, whichever is
less. Such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause
naming, in the case of an Initial Asset, ACM and its successors in
interest as mortgagee, and ACM has received no notice that any premiums
due and payable thereon have not been paid; the related Initial Asset
obligates the Obligor to maintain all such insurance at the Obligor's
cost and expense, and upon the Obligor's failure to do so, authorizes
the holder of such Initial Asset to obtain and maintain such insurance
at the Obligor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor
from the Obligor;
xviii. If a property related to an Initial Asset is in an area identified in
the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as
having special flood hazards and if required by law, a flood insurance
policy in a form meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of
the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to such
property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal
balance of the related Initial Asset, (B) the minimum amount required
to compensate for damages or loss on a replacement cost basis or (C)
the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973;
xix. When applicable, the Initial Asset File contains an appraisal of the
property relating to the Initial Asset made and signed, prior to the
approval of the application for the Initial Asset, by an appraiser,
duly appointed by ACM, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the
property or in any Initial Asset made by the approval or disapproval of
the Initial Asset, who, based on a review of the appraisal, was
state-licensed or state certified (if required under the laws of the
state in which the related property is located) at the time the
appraisal was conducted and signed, who, to the knowledge
of ACM, is a member of and has a professional designation from a
nationally recognized appraisal organization. Such appraisal states
that the appraiser examined the property;
xx. To the best of ACM's knowledge, no material misrepresentation, fraud or
similar occurrence with respect to an Initial Asset has taken place on
the part of any person involved in the origination of the Initial Asset
or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Initial
Asset;
xxi. To the best of ACM's knowledge, if one or more commercial tenants lease
a portion of a property related to a Initial Asset, each such tenant is
conducting business only in that portion of such property covered by
its space lease, except where improvements are being made to such
space, all tenant improvements to be completed by Obligor under a lease
have been completed, and the payment of rent under each lease has
commenced. To the best of ACM's knowledge, no residential space lease,
occupancy agreement or license agreement contains an option to
purchase, right of first refusal to purchase, or any other similar
provision that adversely affects the Initial Asset or that might
adversely affect the rights of ARLP. Except as set forth on Schedule
4(b)(xxi) hereto, no commercial space lease, occupancy agreement or
license agreement contains an option to purchase, right of first
refusal to purchase, or any other similar provision that adversely
affects the Initial Asset or that might adversely affect the rights of
ARLP. To ACM's actual knowledge, each property related to an Initial
Asset is not subject to any lease other than the space leases described
in the rent roll related to the Initial Asset, and no person has any
possessory interest in, or right to occupy, such property except under
and pursuant to such a space lease. Each such material space lease,
occupancy agreement or license agreement is subordinate to the Initial
Asset either pursuant to its terms or a recorded subordination
agreement and contains a customary provision for termination for cause;
xxii. To the best of ACM's knowledge, each property related to an Initial
Asset is in all material respects in material compliance with and
lawfully used, operated and occupied under applicable zoning and
building laws or regulations, and ACM has not received notification
from any governmental authority that any such property fails to comply
with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied
unlawfully or has failed to obtain or maintain any inspection, license
or certificates material to the operation of such property;
xxiii. To the best of ACM's knowledge, all material inspections, licenses and
certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied
portions of the property related to an Initial Asset, with respect to
the use and occupancy of the same,
including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy and fire
underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities and the property is lawfully occupied under
applicable law;
xxiv. All of the material improvements that were included for the purpose of
determining the appraisal value of a Mortgaged Property lie wholly
within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property,
and no significant improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon
the Mortgaged Property;
xxv. When applicable, the related Initial Asset File contains a report (the
"Assessment Report") of an environmental assessment made with respect
to each property related to an Initial Asset by an independent
qualified environmental professional who had no interest, direct or
indirect, in such property or in any Initial Asset secured thereby, and
whose compensation was not affected by the approval or disapproval of
the Initial Asset. To the best of ACM's knowledge and except as
disclosed in the Assessment Report in the Initial Asset File, each
related property is in material compliance with all environmental laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations and orders of federal, state or
governmental authorities relating thereto.
xxvi. To the best of ACM's knowledge and except as disclosed in the
Assessment Report in the Initial Asset File, each related property of
an Initial Asset is free from contamination from any hazardous
materials and no hazardous materials have been used, stored or
otherwise handled in any manner on, in from or affecting any related
property except in compliance with all environmental laws. Neither ACM
nor, to the best knowledge of ACM, any Obligor has received
notification from any federal, state or other governmental authority
relating to any hazardous materials on or affecting the related
property or to any potential or known liability under any environmental
law arising from the ownership or operation of a related property. For
the purposes of this subsection, the term "hazardous materials" shall
include, without limitation, gasoline, petroleum products, explosives,
radioactive materials, polychlorinated biphenyls or related or similar
materials, asbestos or any material containing asbestos, lead,
lead-based paint, area formaldehyde insulation and any other substance
or material as may be defined as a hazardous or toxic substance by any
federal, state or local environmental law, ordinance, rule, regulation
or order, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, the Clean Air
Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act,
the Toxic Substances Control Act and any regulations promulgated
pursuant thereto;
xxvii. To the best of ACM's knowledge, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings before any court, administrative agency or arbitrator
concerning an Initial Asset or the
related Collateral that might materially and adversely affect (1) title
to such Initial Asset, (2) the validity or enforceability thereof, (3)
the value of the Collateral as security for the Initial Asset or (4)
the marketability of such Collateral;
xxviii. Except for Partners Portfolio Mezzanine Loan (as defined on Schedule
A-2 hereto), none of the Initial Assets is cross-collateralized with
any Initial Asset other than another Initial Asset;
xxix. Each Initial Asset does not by its terms permit the repayment thereof
for an amount less than the outstanding principal balance thereof plus
accrued interest;
xxx. No Obligor is, to ACM's actual knowledge, a debtor in any state or
federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;
xxxi. With respect to each Initial Asset that is a Mezzanine Loan:
(1) The first mortgage related to the Initial Asset permits such Mezzanine
Loan and the related first mortgage lender has consented to the rights
of the lender under the Mezzanine Loan, if such consent is required to
be obtained pursuant to the documents securing the loan;
(2) With the exception of 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx Mezzanine Loan and Partners
Portfolio Mezzanine Loan (each as defined on Schedule A-2 hereto), each
Mezzanine Loan is directly secured by the pledge (the "Pledge
Agreement") of all of the equity interest in the related Obligor. Each
Pledge Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
each of the parties thereto and is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each of the parties thereto, subject to (A) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (B)
general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered a proceeding in equity or at law; and
(3) Each related Pledge Agreement creates a valid, first priority security
interest in the entire equity interest in the related mortgagor.
xxxii. With respect to each Preferred Equity Holder:
(1) Each Preferred Equity Holder is duly formed, validity existing and in
good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdiction of
formation;
(2) Each Preferred Equity Interest owned by each Preferred Equity Holder is
owned by such Preferred Equity Holder free and clear of any and all
Liens, except for the right, title, interest, lien and security
interest of (A) RFC
under the Warehousing Credit Facility, (B) Nomura under the Nomura
Repurchase Agreement, and (C) Bear Xxxxxxx under the Bear Xxxxxxx
Repurchase Agreement; and
(3) Each Preferred Equity Holder is entitled to receive preferred
distributions under and in accordance with the terms of the operating
agreement for the entity in which such Preferred Equity Holder holds
such Preferred Equity Interest.
xxxiii. No Preferred Equity Holder has (A) made a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, (B) filed any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or

xxxiv. Each Preferred Equity Holder and each entity controlled directly or

for federal income tax purposes, except for any Entity with respect to
which an election to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS")
has been or will be made effective for all periods following the
Closing, or which has been or will be contributed to a TRS. To the best
of ACM's knowledge, each Entity has timely, including extensions, filed
all material tax returns required to be filed by it and has timely,
including extensions, paid all material taxes required to be paid by it
and none of the tax returns filed by any of the Entities is the subject
of a pending or ongoing audit, and no federal, state, location or
foreign taxing authority has asserted any material tax deficiency or
other assessment in writing against any Entity or any property of any
Entity.
5. Representations and Warranties of ARLP. ARLP hereby represents and
warrants to ACM as follows:
a. ARLP is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware;
b. ARLP has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly
executed and delivered this Agreement;
c. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by
ACM, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of ARLP,
enforceable against ARLP in accordance with the terms hereof, subject
to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally, (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (C)
public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the
extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability
of the provisions of this Agreement that purport to provide
indemnification for securities laws liabilities; and
d. ARLP is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this
Agreement and its performance of, and compliance with, the terms of
this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order
or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority,
which violation, in ARLP 's good faith and reasonable judgment, is
likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of ARLP to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition
of ARLP.
6. Investment Representations and Warranties. ACM hereby represents and
warrants to ART and ARLP as follows:
a. The Partnership Units and the Warrants to be acquired by ACM are being
acquired for ACM's own account with the present intention of holding
such interests for purposes of investment, and ACM has no intention of
selling such interests in a public distribution, and the Partnership
Units and the Warrants will not be disposed of in contravention of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or any applicable state
securities laws. No other person will have any direct or indirect
(other than through the ownership of a direct or indirect interest in
ACM) beneficial interest in or right to the Partnership Units or
Warrants purchased hereunder;
b. ACM understands that the Partnership Units and Warrants have not been
registered under the Act or any state securities laws by reason of
specific exemptions under the provisions thereof, the availability of
which depend in part upon the bona fide nature of ACM's investment
intent and upon the accuracy of ACM's representations made in this
Section 6. ACM understands that the Partnership Units and the Warrants
have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission or by any other federal or state agency. ACM understands
that ARLP is relying upon the
representations and agreements contained in this Section 6 for the
purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements
for such exemptions under the Act and any state securities laws;
c. ACM understands that the Partnership Units and Warrants are "restricted
securities" under the applicable federal securities laws and that the
Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
provide in substance that ACM may dispose of the Partnership Units and
the Warrants only pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and ACM understands that
ARLP has no current obligation or intention to register the Partnership
Units or the Warrants. ACM also understands that no public market
exists for any of the securities issued by ARLP and that ARLP has no
obligation to ensure that a broad public market will exist for
securities of ARLP. Accordingly, ACM understands that under the rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, ACM may only dispose of the
Partnership Units and the Warrants in transactions that are exempt from
registration under the Act. As a consequence of all of the foregoing,
ACM understands that it must bear the economic risk of the investment
in the Partnership Units and the Warrants for an indefinite period of
time;
d. ACM is an "accredited investor "as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)
under the Act. ACM was not formed solely for making an investment in
the Partnership Units or Warrants. ACM acknowledges that an investment
in the Partnership Units and the Warrants is not recommended for
investors who have any need for a current return on this investment or
who cannot bear the risk of losing their entire investment. ACM
acknowledges that: (i) it has adequate means of providing for its
current needs and has no need for liquidity in this investment; (ii) it
is able to bear the economic risk of this investment; (iii) it is able
to hold the Partnership Units and the Warrants indefinitely; and (iv)
it is able to afford a complete loss of this investment;
e. ACM either (i) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with
ARLP or (ii) by reason of its business or financial experience, or by
reason of the business or financial experience of its financial advisor
who is unaffiliated with and who is not compensated, directly or
indirectly, by ARLP or any affiliate or selling agent of ARLP, ACM is
capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in the
Partnership Units and the Warrants and of protecting its own interests
in connection with the investment and investment commitment pursuant to
this Agreement; and
f. ACM has been given the opportunity to perform its own due diligence,
investigation of the business, operations, assets, liabilities and
financial condition of ARLP, including access to the records and books
of ARLP. ACM has had an opportunity to
ask questions of and receive answers from ARLP concerning the business
and assets of ARLP in a manner deemed appropriate by ACM.
7. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All
representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement
shall survive the Closing. Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto
of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 4, 5 and 6 that materially and adversely affects the interests
of the other parties hereto, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other party hereto.
8. Indemnity.
a. ACM hereby agrees to indemnify and hold ART and ARLP harmless from and
against any and all damage, expense, loss, cost, claim or liability
(each a "Claim") suffered or incurred by ART and ARLP as a result of
any untruth or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties
made by ACM in Sections 4 and 6 of this Agreement;
b. Scope of Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise
provided in this Agreement:
i. No indemnity shall be available under Section 8(a) until the
indemnifiable Claims against ACM exceed the total amount of $200,000,
except in the case of Claims arising under breaches of any
representations or warranties in Section 4(a)(ii), Section 4(b)(ii),
Section 4(b)(x), Section 4(b)(xxxii), Section 4(b)(xxxiv) or Section 6
(for purposes of determining whether the $200,000 threshold amount has
been met, any qualification or limitation of a representation or
warranty by reference to the materiality of matters stated herein
having or not having a material adverse effect or words of similar
effect shall be disregarded);
ii. Except in the case of fraud, the indemnification set forth in Section
8(a) shall be limited to an amount equal to the value of the
Partnership Units received by ACM on the date hereof;
iii. The indemnification set forth in Section 8(a) shall only extend to any
Claim of which written notice has been given within twelve months
following the Closing, except with respect to Claims arising under (A)
Section 4(b)(xxv) and Section 4(b)(xxvi), for which written notice has
been given within thirty-six months following the Closing, (B) Section
4(b)(x) and Section 4(b)(xxxiv), for which written notice has been
given within the applicable statute of limitations following the
Closing, and (C) Section 4b(ii), Section 4(b)(xxxii) and Section 6; and
c. Notice to ACM. Each of ART and ARLP shall give prompt written notice to
ACM as to the assertion of any Claim, or the commencement of any Claim.
The omission of either of ART or ARLP to notify ACM of any such Claim
shall not relieve ACM from any liability in respect of such Claim that
it may have to either of ART or ARLP on account of this Agreement nor
shall it relieve ACM from any other liability that it may have to
either of ART or ARLP, provided, however, that ACM shall be relieved of
liability to the extent that the failure so to notify (a) shall have
caused prejudice to the defense of such claim, or (b) shall have
increased the costs or liability of ACM by reason of the inability or
failure of ACM (because of the lack of prompt notice from either of ART
or ARLP) to be involved in any investigations or negotiations regarding
any such claim. In case any such claim shall be asserted or commenced
against either of ART or ARLP and it shall notify ACM thereof, ACM
shall be entitled to participate in the negotiation or administration
thereof and, to the extent it may wish, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party against which such
Claim was initially asserted or commenced, and, after notice from ACM
to the party against which such Claim was initially asserted or
commenced of its election so to assume the defense thereof, which
notice shall be given within 15 days of its receipt of such notice from
the party against which such Claim was initially asserted or commenced,
ACM will not be liable to the party against which such Claim was
initially asserted or commenced hereunder for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by the party against which such Claim
was initially asserted or commenced in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. ACM shall not
settle any claim without the written consent of the party against which
such Claim was initially asserted or commenced, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions

effectively convey and transfer to, and vest in, ARLP, the ACM Initial

purposes, terms and provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that
hereafter ACM receives any payments in respect of the Initial Assets or

forward the same to ARLP within five (5) business days.

supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written
and oral, between the parties, with respect to the subject matter

Membership Interests or the enforceability, collectability, suitability
or value thereof.

severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions
hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof
to any person or entity or any circumstance, is invalid or
unenforceable (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be
substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and
enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable
provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application
of such provision to other persons or entities or circumstances shall
not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such
