further, however, that if Sellers or the Additional Signatories become aware of

provision of this Article VI. Accordingly, Sellers and the Additional
Signatories agree that Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction and other
equitable relief, without posting any bond or security in connection therewith,
to prevent the breach of this Article VI. The equitable remedies contemplated
hereby shall not be deemed to be exclusive remedies for a breach of this
Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or
equity.

without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Purchaser
may from time to time assign or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, any or

7.10 PURCHASER OBLIGATION.
(a) Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Sellers and the Additional
Signatories and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers,
directors, partners, managers and employees (each, a "Seller Indemnified
Person") harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and
disbursements (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) which may at
any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Seller
Indemnified Person, as the result of any action taken by (or failure to act of)
Purchaser or its Affiliates following the execution and delivery of this
Agreement with respect to, or associated or in connection with, the Partnership
or Purchaser's interests therein, including the Sale Units (provided, that for
avoidance of doubt, such obligation of Purchaser shall not arise out of the
entry of the parties into this Agreement or any breach by Sellers or any
Additional Signatory of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements hereunder).
(b) If a third party commences any action or makes any demand against a
Seller Indemnified Person, such Seller Indemnified Person will promptly notify
Purchaser in writing of such action or demand; provided that any failure of any
Seller Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve Purchaser of its
obligations under this SECTION 7.10, except to the extent that Purchaser is
actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Purchaser shall, at its own
expense, defend any action for which such Seller Indemnified Person is entitled
to indemnification hereunder and shall be entitled to control the defense of
such action with counsel (which counsel shall be chosen by Purchaser and
reasonably acceptable to Sellers) who shall jointly represent Purchaser and its
Affiliates and such Seller Indemnified Person; provided that in the event that a
Seller Indemnified Person desires to participate in such action with counsel
selected by such Seller Indemnified Person, such Seller Indemnified Person may
do so at its sole cost and expense; provided further, however, that if counsel
chosen by Purchaser cannot represent both Purchaser and such Seller Indemnified
Person due to a disparity in the defenses available to Purchaser and to such
Seller Indemnified Person, or other conflict of interest, such Seller
Indemnified Person may participate in such action with counsel reasonably
selected by such Indemnified Person at Purchaser's cost and expense.
(c) Purchaser shall have the right to settle any action, so long as any
such settlement results in a full release to all Seller Indemnified Persons
subject to such action with respect to the matters asserted therein.
(d) In the event that any Seller Indemnified Person brings a legal action
against Purchaser in order to enforce its right to such indemnification, if it
is ultimately determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction that: (i) such Seller Indemnified Person is so entitled to
indemnification, then such Seller Indemnified Person asserting such claim shall
also be entitled to recover the reasonable cost and expense of counsel incurred
in asserting such claim and bringing such action against Purchaser; or (ii) such
Seller Indemnified Person has not prevailed in any such action, then such Seller
Indemnified Person shall pay to Purchaser the reasonable cost and expense of
counsel incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates in defending such claim.
7
7.11 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Sellers shall execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, to Purchaser such documents and agreements, and shall
take or cause to be taken such actions, as Purchaser may, from time to time,
request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition to
the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, each Seller hereby agrees to take
such action and execute any transfer application or other documents (at the sole
cost and expense of Purchaser) as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to
complete the transfer of the Sale Units contemplated herein and to permit
Purchaser to seek to become a substituted limited partner in the Partnership.
7.12 LIABILITY. Each Seller shall, each individually and on its own behalf,
be liable with respect to all losses, costs, damages, judgments, suits, charges,
expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel)
("Losses") incurred or suffered by Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of or
arising out of a breach by any Seller under this Agreement, and in particular
shall be liable for all Losses, of whatever nature, resulting from a breach by
Sellers of the terms of Article VI (Standstill) hereof. The Additional
Signatories shall, each individually and on his own behalf, be liable with
respect to all Losses incurred or suffered by Purchaser or its Affiliates as a
result of or arising out of a breach by such Additional Signatory of the terms
of Article VI (Standstill) hereof. Other than as set forth in the preceding
sentence, the Additional Signatories shall have no personal liability hereunder,
unless such Additional Signatory shall have intentionally and knowingly caused a
Seller to violate its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither any Seller nor any Additional
Signatory shall be liable under Article VI for any action taken (or failure to
take any action) by their respective Associates (as defined in the Poison Pill)
unless (i) such Seller or such Additional Signatory, as the case may be, knew
that such Associate was taking actions in violation of this Agreement; and (ii)
such Seller or such Additional Signatory, as the case may be (A) had the
opportunity to prevent such Associate from taking such actions in violation of
this Agreement and (B) did not use such opportunity to prevent such Associate
from taking such action in violation of this Agreement.
