liability under the Title Indemnity and the Redemption Consent Indemnity shall in no event exceed
the amount of the DRA Cap, in the aggregate.
(d) From and after the Membership Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold

Agreement to the lenders of the Met Life Debt and the Xxxxx Debt.
(e) If the Protected Party learns of any event, occurrence or state of facts by which any
indemnification (an “Indemnification”) is likely to apply, the protected party (the
“Protected Party”) shall give prompt written notice thereof to the responsible party (the
“Responsible Party”) and the Responsible Party shall have a commercially reasonable
opportunity and commercially reasonable period of time to take such action (including legal action
or defenses) as may be appropriate or necessary to fulfill its obligations hereunder, and the

of any claim involved in the Indemnification, at no cost (other than de minimus) to the Protected
Party. The Responsible Party shall be entitled to control the defense of any third party claim,
including the selection of counsel (subject to the Protected Party’s reasonable approval), in each
case at the Responsible Party’s expense. If a Responsible Party is not adequately or properly
defending the defense of any third party claim, as determined by the Protected Party in its
reasonable discretion, Protected Party may so defend with their selected counsel at the expense of
the Responsible Party with legal fees to be paid by the Responsible Party on demand. The Protected
Party shall not be entitled to settle any such third party claim without the Responsible Party’s
approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the Responsible Party’s
Indemnification obligation shall not apply to any settlement consummated without the Responsible
Party’s consent, unless any such settlement by the Protected Party is the result of the Responsible
Party’s default of its obligations under this Section 10(e).
