ARTICLE V

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 5.01. Default by a Merging Entity or an Owner. If the Closing is not consummated because of a default by any Merging Entity or Owner under this Agreement, then the Parent and Merger Sub may either (i) seek specific performance of this Agreement by requiring the defaulting Merging Entity to assign the LLC Equity Interests to Merger Sub and in connection therewith the respective Owner shall reimburse the Parent and Merger Sub for the actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Parent or Merger Sub in connection with seeking such specific performance, or (ii) terminate this Agreement (A) in part with respect to the defaulting Merging Entity or Owner only and, except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Parent and Merger Sub shall thereafter have no obligation under any provision of this Agreement with respect to such defaulting Merging Entity and Owner or (B) in full, and, except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, no party hereto shall thereafter have any obligation under any provision of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.01. Indemnification. Subject to the limitations provided below, from and after the Closing Date, each of the Indemnifying Parties agree to, severally and not jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses that are incurred or suffered by any of them based upon, arising out of, in connection with or by reason of (i) the breach of any of the representations or warranties of such Indemnifying Party or (ii) any breach by such Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any Losses based upon, arising out of, in connection with or by reason of a default by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Article V under this Agreement, in no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any claim or claims made by an Indemnified Party for a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant under this Agreement unless the aggregate of any Losses resulting therefrom is equal to or greater than $100,000, and then (i) in the event such Indemnifying Party is Jeffrey W. Eckel, such Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any and all such Losses resulting therefrom; provided, further, however, that the maximum aggregate liability of Jeffrey W. Eckel shall in no event exceed $200,000 and (ii) in the event such Indemnifying Party is a Person other than Jeffrey W. Eckel, such Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for any and all such Losses resulting therefrom in excess of $100,000; provided, further, however, that the maximum aggregate liability of such Indemnifying Party shall in no event exceed the lesser of: (x) an amount equal to the Merger Consideration received by such Indemnifying Party and (y) $100,000.

 

- 16 -


Section 6.02. Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under this Article VI shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) If an Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification under this Article VI, it shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of such claim. The failure to provide such notice will not affect any rights hereunder except to the extent an Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) If such claim involves a claim by a third-party against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Parties shall, within ten days after receipt of such notice and upon notice to the Indemnified Party, assume, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Parties, the settlement or defense thereof (in which case any Loss associated therewith shall be the sole responsibility of the Indemnifying Parties), provided that the Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by it. If the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that representation by the Indemnifying Parties’ counsel of (i) one or more Indemnifying Parties and (ii) the Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then the Indemnifying Parties shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Parties, at any time prior to the delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this Section 6.02(b) by any Indemnifying Party, file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests, (ii) the Indemnified Party may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a third-party claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under this Article VI with respect to such claim and (iii) the Indemnifying Parties may not, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment. So long as an Indemnifying Party is contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim without such Indemnifying Party’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the compromise or settlement of a third-party claim could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the status of the Parent as a real investment trust within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code, then the Parent shall make such decision to compromise or settle the third-party claim without the need to obtain the other party’s consent. If the Indemnifying Parties are not entitled to assume the defense of the claim pursuant to the foregoing provisions or are entitled but do not contest such claim in good faith (including if they do not notify the Indemnified Party of their assumption of the defense of such claim within the ten-day period set forth above), then the Indemnified Party may conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnifying Parties shall cooperate with it in connection therewith. The failure of the Indemnified Party to participate in, conduct or control such defense shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of any obligation they may have hereunder. Any defense costs required to be paid by the Indemnifying Parties shall be paid as incurred, promptly against delivery of invoices therefor.

Section 6.03. Survival. This Article VI shall survive the Closing or the termination of the parties’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of six months and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of the Closing.

 

- 17 -


Section 6.04. Waiver of Claims. Deliverance of the Merger Consideration provided in this Agreement shall serve to waive all claims against the Parent, Merger Sub and Hannon LLC.

ARTICLE VII
