(a) Through the Closing, Seller shall cause the Company, and to the extent within its control, will cause the Joint Venture to continue their current tax treatment as (a) partnerships or (b) entities that are disregarded as separate from their owner for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(b)(1), and the operations of the Company and the Joint Venture through the Effective Time shall be reflected on the federal income Tax Return of its owners. The income of the Company will be apportioned to the period up to and including the Effective Time, and the period after the Effective Time by closing the books of the Company as of the Effective Time except as otherwise provided below in Section 7.1(c).

(b) With respect to any Tax Return of the Company covering a taxable period ending on or before the Effective Time that is required to be filed after the Effective Time, Seller shall cause such Tax Return to be prepared and shall cause to be included in such Tax Return all Tax items required to be included therein. Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of each such Tax Return, Seller shall deliver a copy of such Tax Return to Buyer together with a statement of the difference, if any, of the amount of Tax shown due on such Tax Return over the amount set up as a liability for such Tax (for the period through the Effective Time) in the Effective Time Working Capital. Seller shall make all reasonable changes to such Tax Return requested by Buyer not later than ten (10) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return. If the Tax shown on the Tax Return exceeds the amount set up as a liability for the Tax (for the period through the Effective Time) in the Effective Time Working Capital, not later than the due date of such Tax Return, Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of such excess. If the amount set up as a liability for the Tax (for the period through the Effective Time) in the Effective Time Working Capital exceeds the Tax shown on the Tax Return, not later than the due date of such Tax Return, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of such excess. Buyer shall cause the Company to file the Tax Return and timely pay the Taxes shown due on such Tax Return.

(c) With respect to any Tax Return of the Company covering a taxable period beginning on or before the Effective Time and ending after the Effective Time that is required to

be filed after the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause such Tax Return to be prepared and shall cause to be included in such Tax Return all Tax items required to be included therein. Buyer shall determine (by an interim closing of the books as of the Effective Time except for ad valorem Taxes and franchise taxes based solely on capital which shall be prorated on a daily basis) the Tax which would have been due with respect to the period covered by such Tax Return if such taxable period ended on the Effective Time (the “Pre-Closing Tax”). For this purpose, any franchise Tax paid or payable with respect to the Company shall be allocated to the taxable period during which the income, operations, assets or capital comprising the base of such Tax is measured. Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of each such Tax Return, Buyer shall deliver a copy of such Tax Return to Seller for its review. Buyer shall make all reasonable changes to such Tax Return requested by Seller not later than ten (10) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return. Not later than the due date of the Tax Return, either (i) Seller shall pay to Buyer the excess, if any, of the Pre-Closing Tax over the amount set up as a liability for the Pre-Closing Tax in the Effective Time Working Capital, or (ii) Buyer shall pay to Seller the excess, if any, of the amount set up as a liability for the Pre-Closing Tax in the Effective Time Working Capital over the Pre-Closing Tax. Buyer shall cause the Company to file the Tax Return and timely pay the Taxes shown due on such Tax Return.

(d) Any Tax Return prepared pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.1 shall be prepared in a manner consistent with practices followed in prior years with respect to similar Tax Returns, except as otherwise required by Law or fact. Any dispute arising pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c) shall be resolved pursuant to procedures comparable to the procedures applicable under Section 2.4(a).

(e) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, and Buyer shall cause the Company to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 7.1, requests for the provision of any information or documentation within the knowledge or possession of the other Party as reasonably necessary to facilitate compliance with financial reporting obligations arising under FASB Statement No. 109 (including without limitation, compliance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48), and any audit, litigation or other proceeding (each a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include access to, the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Proceeding, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Seller will, and Buyer will and will cause the Company to, (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Effective Time until the later of six (6) years after the Effective Time or the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods (including any extensions thereof), and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority, and (ii) give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records. Buyer and Seller each agree, upon request, to use Reasonable Efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.2 Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall be responsible for and indemnify Seller for the payment of all state and local transfer, sales, use, stamp, registration or other similar Taxes resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.3 Tax Indemnity.

(a) Seller shall be liable for, shall pay and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and the Company from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.9 and (ii) any and all Taxes in excess of any liability for Taxes (for the period through the Effective Time) reflected in the Effective Time Working Capital which relate to or result from the income, business, property or operations of the Company prior to the Effective Time. The representations and warranties contained in Section 4.9 shall survive the Closing until six months after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Buyer shall be solely liable for, shall pay and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any and all Taxes, together with costs and expenses with respect thereto, which relate to or result from the income, business, property or operations of the Company after the Effective Time.

(b) If any claim (an “Indemnified Tax Claim”) is made by any Tax Authority that, if successful, would result in indemnification of any Party (the “Tax Indemnified Party”) by another Party (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 7.3, the Tax Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event later than the earlier of (i) forty-five (45) days after receipt of notice from the Tax Authority of such claim or (ii) fifteen (15) days prior to the date required for the filing of any protest of such claim, notify the Tax Indemnifying Party in writing of such fact, including a description in reasonable detail of the nature of the Indemnified Tax Claim, and a copy of all papers received with respect to such claim (if any).

(c) The Tax Indemnifying Party shall control all decisions with respect to any Tax Proceeding involving an Indemnified Tax Claim and the Tax Indemnified Party shall take such action (including settlement with respect to such Tax Proceeding or the prosecution of such Tax Proceeding to a determination in a court or other tribunal of initial or appellate jurisdiction) in connection with a Tax Proceeding involving an Indemnified Tax Claim as the Tax Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including the selection of counsel and experts and the execution of powers of attorney; provided that (i) if within thirty (30) days after the notice required by Section 7.3(b) has been delivered (or such earlier date that any payment of Taxes with respect to such claim is due but in no event sooner than five days after the Tax Indemnifying Party’s receipt of such notice), the Tax Indemnifying Party requests that such claim be contested, and (ii) if the Tax Indemnified Party is requested by the Tax Indemnifying Party to pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund, the Tax Indemnifying Party shall have advanced to the Tax Indemnified Party, on an interest-free basis, the amount of such claim. The Tax Indemnified Party shall not make any payment of an Indemnified Tax Claim for at least thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as may be required by applicable law) after the giving of the notice required by Section 7.3(b) with respect to such claim, shall give to the Tax Indemnifying Party any information requested related to such claim, and otherwise shall cooperate with the Tax Indemnifying Party in order to contest effectively any such claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.3 to the contrary, (i) the Tax Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Tax Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any compromise or settlement

regarding an Indemnified Tax Claim that will effect taxable periods ending after the Effective Time or that involves issues that recur for taxable periods ending after the Effective Time, (ii) the Tax Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control (subject to clause “(iii)” below), any defense or settlement of any Indemnified Tax Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7.3, and the Tax Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation, and (iii) if the Tax Indemnifying Party fails to take action to timely defend an Indemnified Tax Claim, then the Tax Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to defend, and be reimbursed by the Tax Indemnifying Party for its reasonable cost and expense, in regard to the Indemnified Tax Claim with counsel selected by the Tax Indemnified Party, in which case the Tax Indemnified Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings; provided, however, that the Tax Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Indemnified Tax Claim if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the Tax Indemnifying Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.4 Scope. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy for any claims relating to Taxes (including any claims relating to representations respecting Tax matters including Section 4.9). The rights under this Article VII shall survive the Closing until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations (including extensions) applicable to such Tax matter. No claim may be made or brought by any Party hereto after the expiration of the applicable survival period unless such claim has been asserted by written notice specifying the details supporting the claim on or prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period.

Section 7.5 Tax Refunds. In the event that Buyer receives any refund of Taxes from a taxing jurisdiction or a reimbursement of Taxes from a third-party with respect to any Pre-Closing Taxable Period, such amounts shall belong to Seller and shall be forwarded by Buyer to Seller within ten days of receipt.

Failure to timely provide such Claim Notice shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party’s indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay or omission.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), by all appropriate proceedings, to a final conclusion or settlement at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 9.3(b). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement agreement without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided further, however, that such consent shall not be required if (i) the settlement agreement contains a complete and unconditional general release by the third party asserting the claim to all Indemnified Parties affected by the claim and (ii) the settlement agreement does not contain any sanction or restriction upon the conduct of any business by the

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 9.3(b), and the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.3(b), then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, and be reimbursed for its reasonable cost and expense (but only if the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder) in regard to the Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party), by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnified Party. In such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall defend any such Third-Party Claim in good faith and have full control of such defense and proceedings; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.3(c), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(d) Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, a claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought.

(e) In the event an Indemnified Party shall recover Losses in respect of a claim of indemnification under this Article IX, no other Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the same Losses in respect of a claim for indemnification.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3, the indemnification procedures set forth in Article VII shall control any indemnities relating to Taxes.

(b) Seller shall have no liability arising out of or relating to Section 9.2(a)(i) for breaches of representations or warranties (other than with respect to a breach of the

Fundamental Representations and Warranties) except if the aggregate Losses actually incurred by Buyer Indemnified Parties thereunder exceed $2,500,000 (and then, subject to Section 9.4(c), only to the extent such aggregate Losses exceed such amount);

(e) For purposes of determining whether there has been a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty by a party in connection with the assertion of a claim for indemnification under Article IX, or determining the amount of a Loss, with respect to any asserted breach or inaccuracy, such determination shall be made without regard to any qualifier as to “material,” “materiality” or Material Adverse Effect expressly contained in Article III or IV.

Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions herein contemplated hereby whether or not such transactions shall be consummated, including all fees of its legal counsel, financial advisers and accountants.

Section 11.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any facsimile copies hereof or signature hereon shall, for all purposes, be deemed originals.

Section 11.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Disclosure Schedules and exhibits to this Agreement) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.7 Disclosure Schedules. Unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules shall have the respective meanings assigned in this Agreement. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Disclosure Schedules shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in the

Disclosure Schedules. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by Seller, in and of itself, that such information is material to or outside the ordinary course of the business of the Company or required to be disclosed on the Disclosure Schedules.

Section 11.8 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, and terms and conditions may be waived, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing which makes reference to this Agreement executed by each Party.

Section 11.9 Publicity. All press releases or other public communications of any nature whatsoever relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall be subject to the prior consent of Buyer and Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by any Party; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent a Party from publishing such press releases or other public communications as such Party may consider necessary in order to satisfy such Party’s obligations at Law or under the rules of any stock or commodities exchange after consultation with the other Party as is reasonable under the circumstances.

Section 11.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties to the greatest extent legally permissible.

Section 11.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas without regard to the Laws that might be applicable under conflicts of laws principles.

(b) The Parties agree that the appropriate, exclusive and convenient forum for any disputes between any of the Parties hereto arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be in any state or federal court in Houston, Texas, and each of the Parties hereto irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts solely in respect of any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement. The Parties further agree that the Parties shall not bring suit with respect to any disputes arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court or jurisdiction other than the above specified courts; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Parties to obtain execution of judgment in any other jurisdiction. The Parties further agree, to the extent permitted by Law, that a final and unappealable judgment against a Party in any action or proceeding contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the

United States by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment. Except to the extent that a different determination or finding is mandated due to the applicable law being that of a different jurisdiction, the Parties agree that all judicial determinations or findings by a state or federal court in Houston, Texas with respect to any matter under this Agreement shall be binding.

(c) To the extent that any Party hereto has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each such party hereby irrevocably (i) waives such immunity in respect of its obligations with respect to this Agreement and (ii) submits to the personal jurisdiction of any court described in Section 11.11(b).

(d) THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT THEY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE OR INTERPRET THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 11.12 Further Assurances.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that in some instances only beneficial ownership to the Company assets will have been transferred to the Company at the Closing and record title may be transferred to Buyer or the Company following the Closing. Seller is in the process of causing such record title to be transferred into the Company and Seller agrees from and after the Closing to cause its Affiliates to execute and deliver to Buyer all such further instruments as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to cause record title to the Company assets to be assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Company and otherwise to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that Seller is unable to transfer record title to the Company asset to the Company or Buyer, then Seller agrees to hold and maintain such record title for the benefit of Buyer and the Company, as the case may be.

(b) Buyer agrees that if and to the extent Buyer or the Company receive payments following the Closing which relate to the Excluded Assets or otherwise belonging to Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company), Buyer will cause the Company to remit such payments promptly to Seller.

Section 11.13 Action by Buyer. With respect to any action, notice, consent, approval or waiver that is required to be taken or given or that may be taken or given by Buyer prior to or after the Closing Date, such action, notice, consent, approval or waiver shall be taken or given by the Conflicts Committee on behalf of Buyer.
