Section 6.4 Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) If any Person other than a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement notifies any Person that is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.2 or 6.3 hereof (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a good faith claim for indemnification against any other Person under this Article 6 (the “Indemnifying Party”), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is thereby prejudiced.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing, within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given the Indemnifying Party notice of the Third Party Claim, that the Indemnifying Party shall

undertake such defense of the Third Party Claim at its own expense and shall indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against all Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and to fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party; and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in compliance with the conditions of Section 6.4(b), (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably); and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(d) If the Indemnified Party reasonably and in good faith determines that any of the conditions in Section 6.4(b) above ceases to be satisfied, (i) the Indemnified Party shall thereafter have the sole right to defend against, and to consent to the entry of any judgment or to enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith); (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses); and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible for any and all Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 6.

Section 6.5 Indemnification Payments.

(a) An Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the full amount of any and all Losses (other than Losses resulting from a Third Party Claim) for which it is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Article 6, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice thereof from the Indemnified Party; and the full amount of any and all Losses resulting from a Third Party Claim for which it is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Article 6, within ten (10) days after final settlement or adjudication thereof; and in each case, thereafter the amount of any such Losses shall bear interest at the rate of interest publicly announced in Atlanta, Georgia

from time to time by Bank of America as its prime rate, plus five percent (5%) per annum.

Section 6.6 Other Provisions.

(a) The Members shall have no right of contribution or other recourse against any of the Western Indemnified Parties for any indemnifiable claims asserted against them by any of the Western Indemnified Parties.

(b) For purposes of determining whether any of the Members has breached any representation or warranty in this Agreement, any qualification or limitation of a representation or warranty by reference to materiality of matters stated therein or as to matters having or not having a Material Adverse Effect, or words of similar effect, shall be disregarded.

(c) Any amount paid under this Article 6 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all income Tax purposes. If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any indemnification payment under this Article 6 is determined to be taxable to the Indemnified Party receiving such payment by any Taxing Authority, the Indemnifying Party shall also indemnify such Indemnified Party for any Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment and any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency or Proceeding related to such Taxes).

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or limit any equitable remedies that any Indemnified Party may otherwise have, including, without limitation, any right to seek specific performance, rescission or restitution, or any right of any Indemnified Party to seek the enforcement by any court or arbitrator of any of its awards, judgments or remedies.
