LIMITED PARTNER INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 7

balance sheet presents fairly in all material respects the financial condition of the Partnership at the Balance Sheet Date. Such financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information contained therein other than normal year-end adjustments which are not material in amount in the aggregate. At the Balance Sheet Date, the Partnership had no material liability (actual, contingent or accrued) that, in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, should have been shown or reflected on the balance sheet but was not.

(b) Except as set forth in Schedule 2.5, since the Balance Sheet Date, whether or not in the ordinary course of business, there has not been, occurred or arisen:

(i) any change in or event affecting the Partnership or Seller, that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

(b) Tax Returns and Audits.

(i) The Partnership has timely filed (taking into account valid extensions of the time for filing) all Tax returns required to have been filed and all such Tax returns were true, correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes owed by the Partnership (whether or not shown on any Tax return) that have become due and payable have been paid.

LIMITED PARTNER INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 8

(ii) The Partnership has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, member, or other third party.

(iii) The Partnership and Seller have made available to Purchaser (i) correct and complete copies of all Tax returns of the Partnership and (ii) any examination reports, statements of deficiencies and assessments by any governmental authority against or agreed to by the Partnership since the Partnership’s formation. The Partnership does not expect any authority to assess additional Taxes for any period for which Tax returns have been filed. There is no dispute or claim concerning any Tax liability of the Partnership claimed, threatened or otherwise raised by any authority. The Partnership has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency.

(iv) All material liabilities of the Partnership for any unpaid Taxes (whether or not shown to be due on any Tax return) have either (A) been accrued for or reserved on the Partnership financial statements in accordance with GAAP or (B) with respect to material unpaid Taxes that may have accrued since the Balance Sheet Date in connection with the operation of the business of the Partnership have been recorded on the books of the Partnership in the ordinary course.

(v) There are no liens or security interests on any of the assets of the Partnership or the Limited Partner Interest that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax.

(vi) The Partnership has not filed any consent agreement under Section 341(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or agreed to have Section 341(f)(2) of the Code apply to any disposition of a subsection (f) asset (as defined in Section 341(f)(2) of the Code) owned by the Partnership. No property of the Partnership is “tax-exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code. The Partnership is not a party to any lease made pursuant to former Section 168(f)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.

(vii) The Partnership is not under any obligation to make a payment that will not be deductible because of the application of Sections 280G, 404, 162(m) and/or 4999 of the Code. The Partnership has disclosed on its Tax returns all positions taken therein that could give rise to a substantial understatement (i) of federal income tax under Code Section 6662 or (ii) of any Tax under a similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. The Partnership has not engaged in any transaction which would be treated as a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4 or otherwise been involved in a transaction which would require it to disclose a “reportable transaction.” The Partnership has not been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated federal income Tax return and does not have any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than the Partnership) under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6, or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise. The Partnership has not been a party to any Tax allocation or sharing agreement.

7.4 Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification under this Article 7 by any Person entitled to indemnification (an “Indemnified Party”) under this Article 7 will be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) In the event any claim or demand, for which a Party hereto (an “Indemnifying Party”) would be liable for the Damages to an Indemnified Party, is asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Party by a Person other than Seller, Purchaser or their Affiliates (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give a notice of its claim (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) calendar days after the Indemnified Party receives written notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of a complaint, petition or institution of other formal legal action against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice within such applicable time period after the Indemnified Party receives written notice of such Third Party Claim and thereby materially impairs the Indemnifying Party’s ability to protect its interests, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.

(i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 7.4(a), then the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may, at its sole cost and expense, file during the Notice Period any motion, answer or other pleadings that the Indemnified Party may deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and which is not prejudicial, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnifying Party, to the Indemnifying Party. Except as provided in Section 7.4(a)(ii) hereof, if an Indemnified Party takes any such action that is prejudicial and causes a final adjudication that is adverse to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to the portion of such Third Party Claim prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s action. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the

LIMITED PARTNER INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 31

Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person (other than the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates). The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7.4(a)(i), and except as specifically provided in this Section 7.4(a)(i), the Indemnified Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.4(a), or if the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to give any notice whatsoever within the Notice Period, then the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be promptly and reasonably prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting, or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person (other than the Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4(a)(ii), if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party with reasonable promptness that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this Section 7.4(a)(ii). Subject to the above terms of this Section 7.4(a)(ii), the Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.4(a)(ii), and the Indemnifying Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. The Indemnified Party shall give sufficient prior notice to the Indemnifying Party of the initiation of any discussions relating to the settlement of a Third Party Claim to allow the Indemnifying Party to participate therein.

(b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver an Indemnity Notice to the Indemnifying Party. (The term “Indemnity Notice” shall mean written notification of a claim for indemnity under Article 7 hereof (which claim does not involve a Third Party Claim or Tax Claim) by an Indemnified Party to an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7.4, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim and the amount or the estimated amount of such claim.) The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such Party’s rights hereunder except to the extent that an Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been prejudiced thereby.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt of a Claim Notice or an Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder, such claim specified

LIMITED PARTNER INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 32

by the Indemnified Party will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand, or on such later date (i) in the case of a Third Party Claim, as the Indemnified Party suffers the Damages in respect of such Third Party Claim, or (ii) in the case of an Indemnity Notice in which the amount of the claim is estimated, when the amount of such claim becomes finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute will be resolved by adjudication by a court or similar tribunal.

(d) The Indemnified Party agrees to give the Indemnifying Party reasonable access to the books and records and employees of the Indemnified Party in connection with the matters for which indemnification is sought hereunder, to the extent the Indemnifying Party reasonably deems necessary in connection with its rights and obligations hereunder.

(e) The Indemnified Party shall assist and cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of litigation, the making of settlements and the enforcement of any right of contribution to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled from any Person in connection with the subject matter of any litigation subject to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the Indemnified Party shall, upon request by the Indemnifying Party or counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (without payment of any fees or expenses to the Indemnified Party or an employee thereof), attend hearings and trials, assist in the securing and giving of evidence, assist in obtaining the presence or cooperation of witnesses, and make available its own personnel; and shall do whatever else is necessary and appropriate in connection with such litigation. The Indemnified Party shall not make any demand upon the Indemnifying Party or counsel for the Indemnifying Party in connection with any litigation subject to indemnification hereunder, except a general demand for indemnification as provided hereunder. If the Indemnified Party shall fail to perform such obligations as Indemnified Party hereunder or to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in Indemnifying Party’s defense of any suit or proceeding, such cooperation to include, without limitation, attendance at all depositions and the provision of all documents relevant to the defense of any claim, then, except where such failure does not have an adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party’s defense of such claims, the Indemnifying Party shall be released from all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to that suit or proceeding and any other claims which had been raised in such suit or proceeding.

(f) Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to all persons or entities relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
