clauses (3) through (6) above are set forth on Section 7.05(a) of the Disclosure Letter) (the
“Release”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted
to release either Buyer or Buyer Sub from any of its obligations to Sellers under this Agreement or
any of the Transaction Documents.
(b) Each Seller represents and warrants to the Company, Buyer and Buyer Sub that there has
been no assignment or other transfer of any interest in any Claim released pursuant to Section
7.05(a) (“Released Claims”), and such Seller agrees to indemnify and hold the Releasees
harmless from any Liability, Claims or attorneys’ fees or expenses incurred as a result of any
Person asserting any such assignment or transfer of any rights or Claims under any such assignment
or transfer from such Seller.
(c) Each Seller represents and warrants to the Company, Buyer and Buyer Sub that it has not
filed, nor has as of the date hereof, any Released Claims against any of the Releasees. Each
Seller agrees that if such Seller hereafter commences, joins in, or in any manner seeks relief
through any suit arising out of, based upon, or relating to any of the Released Claims, or in any
manner asserts against the Releasees any of the Released Claims, including, without limitation,
through any motion to reconsider, reopen or appeal the dismissal of the suit or action, then such
Seller will pay to the Releasees against whom such claim(s) is asserted, in addition to any other
damages caused thereby, all expenses and costs (including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Releasees in defending or otherwise responding to said
Released Claim.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the release set forth in this Section
7.05 shall have no force and effect until the Closing.
(e) The Releasors acknowledge that this is an arm’s length transaction, Releasors are
sophisticated and fully knowledgeable, the above Release was extensively negotiated, Releasors have
had the opportunity to discuss the Release with their independent counsel, and no representations,
promises, inducements or statements of intention have been made by Releasees which were relied upon
by Releasors in executing the Release other than those stated in this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents and any other agreement, exhibit, or schedule delivered or executed in
connection with the Agreement, and no party hereto shall be bound or liable for any alleged
representation, promise or statement of intention not so set forth.
SECTION 7.06. Employee Matters.
(a) During the period from the date hereof through at least December 31, 2006, Buyer agrees to
cause the Company to provide for the benefit of the employees of the Company as of the date hereof
who continue to be employed by the Company following the Closing (the “Company Employees”),
employee benefits which are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to
similarly situated employees of Buyer Sub.
(b) To the extent service is relevant for purposes of eligibility, participation or vesting or
receipt of benefits under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement
41
established or
maintained by Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer in which Company Employees may participate (other than
the accrual of benefits under a pension plan), subject to the terms of such plan, program or
arrangement, such Company Employees shall be credited for service accrued as of the date hereof
with the Company to the extent such service was credited under a similar plan, program or
arrangement of the Company; provided, however, no such credit shall be provided to
the extent that it would result in a duplication of credit or benefits.
(c) To the extent a Company Employee and his or her dependents enroll in any welfare plan
sponsored by Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer (a “Buyer Welfare Plan”), subject to the terms
of such plan, program or arrangement, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Buyer Welfare Plan (i) to waive all preexisting condition exclusions and waiting periods otherwise
applicable to a Company Employee and his or her dependents, other than exclusions or waiting
periods that are in effect with respect to such individuals immediately prior to the Closing to the
extent not satisfied, under the corresponding benefit plans of the Company, and (ii) to provide
each Company Employee and his or her dependents with corresponding credit for any co-payments and
deductibles paid by them under the corresponding benefit plans of the Company during the portion of
the respective plan year prior to the date such Company Employee enrolls in the applicable Buyer
Welfare Plan; provided, however, no such credit shall be provided to the extent
that it would result in a duplication of credit or benefits.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein, whether express or implied, shall
be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Plan, or shall limit the right of Buyer,
the Company or any of their Subsidiaries, including Buyer Sub, to amend, terminate or otherwise
modify any Plan following the Closing Date. In the event that (i) a party other than the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries makes a claim or takes other action to enforce any provision in this
Agreement as an amendment to any Plan, and (ii) such provision is deemed to be an amendment to such
Plan even though not explicitly designated as such in this Agreement, then such provision shall
lapse retroactively and shall have no amendatory effect.
(e) The Company acknowledges and agrees that all provisions contained in this Section 7.06
with respect to the Company Employees are included for the sole benefit of the Company, and that
nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or
other rights (i) in any other Person, including, without limitation, any employees, former
employees, any participant in any Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (ii) to
continued employment with Buyer, Buyer Sub, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates.
SECTION 7.07. Termination of Certain Prior Agreements.
(a) The Stockholders Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of the
Stockholders Agreement that expressly, by implication or otherwise would survive cancellation or
termination of the Stockholders Agreement) is hereby canceled and terminated, is null and void and
has no further force or effect. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each party to
the Stockholders Agreement shall automatically be released and forever discharged from any and all
duties, covenants, obligations, controversies, claims, demands, actions, causes of action and other
liabilities (whether known or unknown or matured or unmatured and whether arising with respect to
or otherwise relating to the period prior to, on or
42
after the date hereof) under, in connection
with, arising out of or relating or attributable to the Stockholders Agreement NOTWITHSTANDING THE
STRICT LIABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, GROSS NEGLIGENCE), WHETHER SOLE,
JOINT OR CONCURRENT OR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, OF SUCH PARTY OR WHETHER ASSERTED IN CONTRACT, IN
WARRANTY, IN TORT, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE.
(b) Sections 6.1, 6.4(b) and 6.5 of the Equity Interests Acquisition Agreement (including,
without limitation, any such provision of the that expressly, by implication or otherwise would
survive cancellation or termination) (the “Terminated Provisions”) are hereby canceled and
terminated, are null and void and have no further force or effect. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable Law, each party to the Equity Interests Acquisition Agreement shall automatically be
released and forever discharged from any and all duties, covenants, obligations, controversies,
claims, demands, actions, causes of action and other liabilities (whether known or unknown or
matured or unmatured and whether arising with respect to or otherwise relating to the period prior
to, on or after the date hereof) under, in connection with, arising out of or relating or
attributable to the Terminated Provisions NOTWITHSTANDING THE STRICT LIABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
GROSS NEGLIGENCE), WHETHER SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT OR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, OF SUCH PARTY OR
WHETHER ASSERTED IN CONTRACT, IN WARRANTY, IN TORT, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE.
ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 8.01. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and
warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder and
continue in full force and effect until (and claims based upon or arising out of such
representations and warranties may be asserted at any time before) the six-month anniversary of the
Closing Date, except with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company in Section
4.02, the Sellers in Section 5.05 and Buyer and Buyer Sub in Section 6.06 of this Agreement, which
shall survive the Closing and remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, any Seller, Buyer or Buyer Sub, any Person
controlling the Company, any Seller, Buyer of Buyer Sub or any of their Representatives whether
prior to or after the execution of this Agreement, until sixty (60) calendar days after the
expiration of the applicable period of statute of limitations (giving effect to any waivers or
extensions thereof). The covenants and agreements of the parties hereto in this Agreement shall
survive the Closing without any contractual limitation on the period of survival (other than those
covenants and agreements that are expressly required to remain in full force and effect for a
specified period time). The period of time a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
survives the Closing pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall be the “Survival Period” with
respect to such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. So long as an Indemnified Party
gives written notice of indemnification claim in reasonable detail on or before the expiration of
the applicable Survival Period, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue its rights to
indemnification under Section 8.02(a) or (b) hereof, as applicable. In the event notice of any
claim for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) or (b) hereof shall have been
43
given within the
applicable Survival Period and such claim has not been finally resolved by the expiration of such
Survival Period, the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements that are the subject of
such claim shall survive the end of the Survival Period of such representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements until such claim is finally resolved, but such representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements shall only survive with respect to such asserted claim.
Any claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification shall not be adversely affected by any
investigation by or opportunity to investigate afforded to the such party, nor shall such a claim
be adversely affected by such party’s knowledge on or before the Closing Date of any breach of the
type specified in Section 8.02(a) or (b) unless it shall be determined by a final judgment of a
court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such proceeding, with the burden of proof
resting with the Indemnifying Party, that a director or officer of the party seeking
indemnification had actual knowledge of the breach of such representation or warranty. The waiver
of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of
or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not adversely affect the right to
indemnification, payment of losses or other remedy based on such representations, warranties,
covenants or obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, the
limitations set forth in
this Article VIII shall not apply in the case of claims based on fraud under common law (as
opposed to fraud as defined by Texas Business and Commerce Code Section 27.01) or willful
misconduct.
SECTION 8.02. Indemnification.
(a) From and after the Closing, each Seller and Cashed-Out Holder (each Seller and Cashed-Out
Holder, in its capacity as an indemnifying party under this Article VIII, a “Seller
Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Seller Indemnifying Parties”) shall,
severally but not jointly, indemnify, save and hold harmless Buyer, Buyer Sub and their Affiliates
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company from and after the Closing) and Representatives
(each, in its capacity as an indemnified party under this Article VIII, a “Buyer Indemnified
Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all
costs, losses, Liabilities, obligations, damages, claims, judgment, demands and expenses (whether
or not arising out of third party claims), including interest, penalties, fines, Tax, costs of
mitigation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable amounts paid in investigation, defense or
settlement of any of the foregoing (herein, “Damages”), to the extent incurred in
connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to:
(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or such Seller in
this Agreement; and
(ii) any claim arising from the Sellers’ Representative’s performance of his, her or
its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) From and after the Closing, each of Buyer and Buyer Sub (in its capacity as an
indemnifying party under this Article VIII, a “Buyer Indemnifying Party” and collectively,
the “Buyer Indemnifying Parties” and together with the Seller Indemnifying Parties, each an
“Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall, jointly
and severally, indemnify, save and hold harmless each Seller and Cashed-Out Holder and its
Affiliates and Representatives (in their capacity as indemnified parties under this Article VIII
and together with
44
the Buyer Indemnified Parties, each an “Indemnified Party” and
collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages to the extent
incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to any breach of any
representation or warranty made by either Buyer or Buyer Sub in this Agreement.
(c) (i) The term “Damages” as used in this Section 8.02 is not limited to matters
asserted by third parties against such Indemnified Party, but includes Damages incurred or
sustained by the Indemnified Party in the absence of Third-Party Claims. The parties acknowledge
and agree that, if the Company suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages to the
extent incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to any breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Company and/or a Seller in this Agreement or any claim
arising from the Sellers’ Representative’s performance of his, her or its obligations under this
Agreement, then Buyer Sub shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the
Company, to have incurred Damages to the same extent.
(ii) For purposes of this Article VIII, Damages incurred or suffered by an Indemnified
Party arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall
be determined without deduction on account of any materiality or Material Adverse Effect
qualification contained in any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement giving rise
to the claim for indemnification hereunder.
SECTION 8.03. Procedure for Claims between Parties. If a claim for Damages (an “Indemnity
Claim”), other than Third-Party Claims under Section 8.04 below, is to be made by an
Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification hereunder, such party shall give written notice
briefly describing the claim and the total monetary damages sought (each, a “Notice”) to
the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, and the Escrow Agent
as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event
which gives rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Article VIII. Any
failure to submit any such notice of claim to the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer Indemnifying
Parties, as the case may be, shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder,
except to the extent that the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as the case
may be, demonstrate that an Indemnifying Party was actually prejudiced by such failure. The
Sellers’ Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have
accepted the Notice and Sellers or the Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, shall be
deemed to have agreed to pay the Damages at issue, and the parties shall promptly instruct the
Escrow Agent to disburse funds from the Indemnification Escrow in an amount sufficient to pay the
Damages, if the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, do not
send a notice of disagreement to the Indemnified Party within 30 calendar days after receiving the
Notice pursuant to Section 8.05.
SECTION 8.04. Defense of Third-Party Claims. If an Indemnity Claim is to be made by an
Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of, arising out of or involving
a claim made by any third party (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) against the Indemnified
Party, the Indemnified Party shall give a Notice to the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer
Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after becoming aware of such
Third-Party Claim. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely Notice hereunder shall not
affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Sellers’
45
Representative
or Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, demonstrate that an Indemnifying Party was
actually prejudiced by such failure. The Sellers’ Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as
the case may be, shall have 30 days (or less if the nature of the Third-Party Claim requires) from
its receipt of the Notice to notify the Indemnified Party whether (subject to the written consent
of the Indemnified Party, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion) the
Indemnifying Party or Parties desire, at the Indemnifying Party’s and Parties’ sole cost and
expense and by counsel of its own choosing (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified
Party or Parties), to assume the defense against such Third-Party Claim; provided that, if the
Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those
available to an applicable Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at
the Indemnifying Parties’
cost, risk and expense, to one separate counsel of its own choosing (who shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnifying Party or Parties). The Indemnifying Party or Parties shall
compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that any such compromise or
settlement shall provide for the absolute and unconditional release of the Indemnified Parties from
any Liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and shall provide for only the payment of
monetary Damages and shall not create any continuing obligation of the Indemnified Party or any of
its Affiliates or otherwise adversely affect the operations of the Indemnified Party or any of its
Affiliates. If the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be,
assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable
respects with the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, and
its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third-Party Claim and any appeal
arising therefrom, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided,
however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation,
trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. If the Sellers’
Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, fail to assume the defense of
such claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Notice (whether as a result of
its election not to assume such defense or the refusal of the Indemnified Party or Parties to grant
a request of the Indemnifying Party or Parties to assume such defense), the Indemnified Party
against which such claim has been asserted will have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying
Party’s cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim on
behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party; provided,
however, that such claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of
the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the
claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties,
as the case may be, reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or
settlement; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may, at its own cost,
participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal
arising therefrom. The Indemnifying Party or Parties shall be liable for any settlement of any
Third-Party Claim effect
ed pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 8.04 and for any final
judgment (subject to any right of appeal), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.02.
46
SECTION 8.05. Resolution of Conflicts and Claims.
(a) If the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, object
in writing to any claim for indemnification made by an Indemnified Party in any written Notice of a
claim (an “Objection Notice”), the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer Indemnifying Parties
shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each
of such claims, and the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer Indemnifying Parties shall provide
information to the other party (as reasonably requested) related to the issues set forth in the
Objection Notice. If the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer Indemnifying Parties should so
agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by such parties and
shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be
entitled to rely on any such memorandum and distribute funds from the Indemnification Escrow
in accordance with the terms thereof.
(b) If no such agreement is reached after good faith negotiation, either the Sellers’
Representative or Buyer Indemnifying Parties may demand mediation of the dispute, unless the amount
of the damage or loss is at issue in a pending action or proceeding involving a Third-Party Claim,
in which event mediation shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties
agree to mediation. In any such mediation, the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer Indemnifying
Parties agree to employ a mediator to assist them in reaching resolution of such dispute according
to the Commercial Mediation Rules of the AAA. The mediator shall be a corporate attorney
practicing in Houston, Texas, with at least fifteen (15) years experience in mergers and
acquisitions. The fees and expenses of the mediator shall be shared equally by the Sellers’
Representative and Buyer Indemnifying Parties. If, after mediation efforts, the Sellers’
Representative and Buyer Indemnifying Parties should agree as to all or a portion of a claim, a
memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by such parties and shall be
furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum
and distribute funds from the Indemnification Escrow in accordance with the terms thereof. If
after reasonable efforts, and over a period of sixty (60) calendar days, the parties are unable to
reach agreement on such dispute utilizing the mediator, the parties shall be permitted to proceed
with any other remedy available to such party.
SECTION 8.06. Limitations on Indemnity. No Indemnified Party shall seek, or be entitled to,
indemnification from any of the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 8.02(a) to the extent the
aggregate claims for Damages of the Indemnified Parties are less than $1,000,000 (the
“Threshold”) or exceed an amount equal to $6,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided,
that, if the aggregate of all claims for Damages equals or exceeds the Threshold, then the Buyer
Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for Damages subject to the limitations in this
Section 8.06 only to the extent such Damages exceed the Threshold and do not exceed the Cap.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Indemnified Parties are seeking, or are
entitled to seek, indemnification from any of the Indemnifying Parties for Damages due to (i)
Buyer’s, Buyer Sub’s, the Company’s or any Seller’s fraud under common law (as opposed to fraud as
defined by Texas Business and Commerce Code Section 27.01) or willful misconduct or (ii) breaches
of the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 4.02, the Sellers in Section 5.05
or Buyer in Section 6.06 of this Agreement, the limitations in this Section 8.06 (including the
Threshold and the Cap) shall not be applicable to, or otherwise limit an Indemnified Party’s
recovery for, such claim; provided, that, for breaches of the representations
47
and warranties set forth in clause (ii) above, no Seller’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the Buyer
Indemnified Parties shall exceed the product obtained by multiplying $800 by the number of Company
Shares sold by such Seller hereunder, no Cashed-Out Holder’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the
Buyer Indemnified Parties shall exceed the product obtained by multiplying (A) the difference
between $800 and the exercise price of such Cashed-Out Holder’s Cashed-Out Options by (B) the
number of Company Shares that were subject to such Cashed-Out Options immediately prior to the
Closing, and Buyer and Buyer Sub’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties
shall not exceed the Purchase Price.
SECTION 8.07. Payment of Damages. The parties agree that any and all indemnification
obligations of the Seller Indemnifying Parties hereunder (except with respect to breaches of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.02 and Section 5.05) shall be satisfied
solely from available amounts of the Indemnification Escrow then on deposit with the Escrow Agent
in accordance with the Indemnification Escrow Agreement. With respect to breaches of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.02 and Section 5.05, the Indemnified Party
shall be paid in cash by the Indemnifying Party the amount to which the Indemnified Party may
become entitled by reason of the provisions of this Article VIII, within five (5) calendar days
after such amount is determined either by mutual agreement of the parties or pursuant to the
mediation proceeding described in Section 8.05(b) of this Agreement or on the date on which both
such amount and the Indemnified Party’s obligation to pay such amount have been determined by a
final judgment of a court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such proceeding.
48
SECTION 8.08. Sellers’ Representative.
(a) SCF-VI, L.P. shall be the Sellers’ Representative (the “Sellers’ Representative”)
and as such shall serve as and have all powers as agent and attorney-in-fact of each Seller and
Cashed-Out Holder, for and on behalf of such Sellers and Cashed-Out Holders: (i) to give and
receive notices and communications; (ii) to have authority to agree to, negotiate, enter into
settlements and compromises of, and demand mediation and comply with orders of courts and awards of
Governmental Entities with respect to any disputes involving any Indemnity Claims made by the Buyer
Indemnified Parties; (iii) to litigate, mediate, arbitrate, defend, enforce or to take any other
actions and execute the Indemnification Escrow Agreement and any other documents that the Sellers’
Representative deems advisable in connection with enforcing any rights or obligations or defending
any claim or action under this Agreement on behalf of the Sellers and Cashed-Out Holders; (iv) to
sign receipts, consents, or other documents to effect the transactions contemplated hereby; (v) to
authorize the delivery to any Buyer Indemnified Party of the Indemnification Escrow, or any portion
thereof, in satisfaction of any Indemnity Claims; and (vi) to take any and all actions necessary or
appropriate in the judgment of the Sellers’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.
If SCF-VI, L.P. ceases to act as Sellers’ Representative for any reason, such Sellers’
Representative or his agent shall notify Buyer and Buyer Sub of such Sellers’ Representative’s
intent to resign as Sellers’ Representative, and the Sellers and Cashed-Out Holders entitled to
receive a majority of the Purchase Price shall, by written notice to Buyer and Buyer Sub, appoint a
successor Sellers’ Representative within thirty (30) days. Notice or communications to or from any
Sellers’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Sellers and Cashed-Out
Holders.
(b) Subject to Section 8.08(a), in the event of (i) the death or permanent disability of the
Sellers’ Representative, (ii) his, her or its resignation as a Sellers’ Representative, or (iii)
the removal of the Sellers’ Representative by Sellers and Cashed-Out Holders entitled to receive a
majority of the Purchase Price, a successor Sellers’ Representative shall be elected by the Sellers
and Cashed-Out Holders entitled to receive a majority of the Purchase Price. Each successor
Sellers’ Representative shall have all of the power, authority,
rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement and the Indemnification Escrow Agreement
upon the original Sellers’ Representative, and the term “Sellers’ Representative” as used herein
and therein shall be deemed to include successor Sellers’ Representatives.
(c) The Sellers’ Representative may, in all questions arising under this Agreement or the
Indemnification Escrow Agreement, rely on the advice of counsel, and shall not be liable to the
Sellers or any other Person for any action taken or not taken as a Sellers’ Representative in the
absence of such Sellers’ Representative’s willful misconduct.
(d) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative shall constitute a
decision of all the Sellers and Cashed-Out Holders, and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon
each of the Sellers and Cashed-Out Holders, and Buyer, Buyer Sub, the Escrow Agent and the Company
may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative as being the
decision, act, consent or instruction of each and all of the Sellers and Cashed-Out Holders.
Buyer, Buyer Sub, the Escrow Agent and the Company are relieved from any Liability to any person
for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the
Sellers’ Representative. Although the Sellers’ Representative shall
49
not be obligated to obtain
instructions from the Sellers and Cashed-Out Holders prior to any decision, act, consent or
instruction, if, and to the extent that, the Sellers’ Representative receives any written
instructions from the Sellers and Cashed-Out Holders entitled to receive a majority of the Purchase
Price, the Sellers’ Representative shall comply with such instructions.
SECTION 8.09. Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 8.08, the parties agree that the sole and
exclusive remedy of any party to this Agreement or their respective Affiliates or other Indemnified
Parties with respect to this Agreement or any other claims relating to the events giving rise to
this Agreement and the transactions provided for in this Agreement or contemplated by this
Agreement or by any other such claims relating to the events giving rise to this Agreement and the
transactions provided for in this Agreement shall be limited to the indemnification provisions set
forth in this Article VIII.
SECTION 8.10. Actual Fraud. Nothing in this Agreement (including this Article VIII) shall
prevent any party from making a claim against any other party for actual fraud involving a knowing
and intentional misrepresentation of a fact material to the transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION 8.11. No Special Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS ARTICLE
VIII OR OTHERWISE IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, REMOTE,
SPECULATIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH PARTY SUFFERS SUCH DAMAGES TO AN
UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, IN WHICH EVENT SUCH DAMAGES SHALL
BE RECOVERABLE.
SECTION 8.12. No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Agreement shall be
determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such
liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
ARTICLE IX

SECTION 9.03. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to articles,
sections, exhibits or schedules, such reference shall be to an article or Section of or exhibit or
schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, glossary of defined
terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect
in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”,
“includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the
words “without limitation.” Each party hereto has participated jointly in the drafting of this
Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the
parties. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement
shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden or proof shall
arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of
this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be
deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context
requires otherwise.
SECTION 9.04. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and
delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same
counterpart.
SECTION 9.05. Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries.
(a) This Agreement (including the Disclosure Letter) and the Transaction Documents constitute
the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto
and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature
whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.06. Governing Law. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and all
disputes between the parties under or related to the Agreement or the facts and circumstances
leading to its execution, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be governed and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, applicable to contracts executed in and to be
performed entirely within the State of Texas, without regard to the laws that might be applicable
under conflicts of laws principles.
SECTION 9.07. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or
legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially
adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal
or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this
Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as
52
possible in an
acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally
contemplated to the greatest extent possible. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or
unenforceable only in part, degree or certain jurisdictions will remain in full force and effect to
the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each
party waives any provision of law which renders any provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect.
SECTION 9.08. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be
assigned by any of the parties hereto, in whole or in part (whether by operation of law or
otherwise, including, without limitation, by merger or consolidation), without the prior written
consent of each of the other parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such
consent shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding
upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and
assigns.
SECTION 9.09. Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event
that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific
terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to
specific performance of the terms hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they
are entitled at law or in equity.
SECTION 9.10. Acknowledgment. Each of the Sellers hereby acknowledges that such party has had
reasonable opportunity to read and understand this Agreement and their respective legal counsel has
had reasonable opportunity to review and comment on this Agreement.
