case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall be enforceable.
(f) If any court determines that the provisions of Sections 4.01(a) or

any of the KSHC Excluded Entities or any of the KSHC Designated Entities prior
to or after the Closing Date (other than any such Losses to the extent arising
from or based upon the management or operation of any KSHC Excluded Entity or
KSHC Designated Entity (A) prior to the Closing Date, by any KSHC Entity or (B)
on or after the Closing Date, by the Parent or any Subsidiary) and (ii) clause

amended, between Kinney System, Inc. and each of Scott E. Shafer, Michael Beck,
Vincent Garguilo, Alix Vincent, Hector Chevalier, Gary Campbell, Philip
Mittleman, Daniel Stark, Victor Lopez and Sabry Assal.
(c) Promptly after receipt by the Parent of notice of any demand,
claim or circumstance received by Parent on or after the Closing Date that,
with or without the lapse of time, the Parent has reason to believe may result
in any such Losses described in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 6.01(a) or
Section 6.01(b), Parent shall give notice thereof to each of the KSHC
Shareholders, which notice shall describe such demand, claim or circumstance in
reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary) of
the Losses that have been or may be suffered by Parent. The KSHC Shareholders
shall compromise or defend, by their own counsel, any such demand, claim or
circumstance and all fees and expenses related thereto shall be subject to
Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b), as applicable. Parent shall cooperate in the
compromise of, or defense against, such demand, claim or circumstance and shall
make available to the KSHC Shareholders and their counsel any books, records or
other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such
compromise or defense.
(d) Parent shall reimburse the KSHC Shareholders, on a percentage
basis equal to the percentages set forth opposite their respective names on
Schedule 6.01, in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of all premiums paid
by the KSHC Shareholders in respect of one or more insurance policies providing
coverage up to $10 million in the aggregate for Losses that are subject to
indemnification by the KSHC Shareholders pursuant to Section 6.01(a); provided,
that all such premiums shall be included in computing the First and Second
Indemnity Thresholds; and provided, further, that, the KSHC Shareholders shall
consult with Parent with respect to the terms and conditions of such insurance
policies, including, without limitation, the premiums to be paid with respect
thereto, prior to obtaining any such coverage.
Section 6.02 Certain Indemnification Procedures. Notwithstanding
anything in Section 6.01 to the contrary, Parent shall have the right to
determine the manner of resolution of, and control, conduct and direct any
activities (including but not limited to investigation and remediation
activities) that may result in Losses arising out of the items set forth in
Schedule
12
16
4.17 of the KSHC Disclosure Schedule (clause (iii) of Section 6.01(a));
provided, however, that the KSHC Representative and Parent shall comply with
the following procedures for indemnification of any such Losses resulting from
such activities for any particular matter:
(a) Parent shall notify the KSHC Representative in writing of the action
it proposes to take, describing in reasonable detail the matter to be
investigated, remediated, prevented or complied with, the scope of the work to
be performed and the estimated cost associated with such activities
("Environmental Activity Proposal"). Parent shall provide the KSHC
Representative with (i) copies of all work plans for, and test results, surveys
and other data generated by, the investigations performed by Parent or their
consultants promptly upon the availability thereof, (ii) final and any prior
drafts of all reports, plans and other documents to be filed with any
Governmental Body upon the availability thereof and in any event prior to any
such filing being made, (iii) an opportunity to meet with Parent and their
representatives prior to and following any substantive communications with
Governmental Bodies, and (iv) a timely opportunity to discuss and comment upon
the foregoing and any other proposed determinations or actions relating to the
investigation, testing and remediation of any relevant property and the
reporting thereon with Governmental Bodies.
(b) In the event that the KSHC Representative objects to the Environmental
Activity Proposal in whole or in part, the KSHC Representative shall notify
Parent in writing of its disagreement (and its basis therefor) regarding such
Environmental Activity Proposal and, if the KSHC Representative desires, shall
provide an alternative proposal within 30 calendar days of its receipt of notice
of the Environmental Activity Proposal. Parent and the KSHC Representative shall
thereafter negotiate in good faith in an attempt to reach agreement as to the
disputed Environmental Activity Proposal. In the event that Parent and the KSHC
Representative are unable to resolve the dispute within 20 calendar days after
the Parent's receipt of such written notice, the KSHC Representative or Parent
may provide written notice to the other of its intent to submit the matter to
the Designated Environmental Engineer, which shall resolve such items in dispute
within a 30-calendar day determination period following submission of such items
in dispute to such Designated Environmental Engineer, based on independent
review of (i) written submissions by the KSHC Representative and the Parent and
(ii) any environmental engineering studies or reports prepared in conjunction
with the submission of the Environmental Activity Proposal or the written
notice.
(c) Any review by the Designated Environmental Engineer conducted
pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be limited to the Environmental Activity
Proposal and resolution of the dispute set forth in the written notice, and the
Designated Environmental Engineer shall have no jurisdiction or authority to
resolve any claims not so related, whether arising by way of asserted rights,
offsets or otherwise. The Designated Environmental Engineer may order that the
Environmental Activity Proposal be implemented or that the KSHC
Representative's alternative proposal as set forth in the written notice be
implemented or that different activities be implemented, so long as the
activity ordered by the Designated Environmental Engineer is consistent with
the Lowest Cost Response and is required by applicable Environmental Laws.
13
17
The Designated Environmental Engineer's decision shall be final and binding on
the KSHC Representative and the Parent. Any award by the Designated
Environmental Engineer shall be enforceable in any court of competent
jurisdiction. The parties hereby consent to such jurisdiction and to entry of
judgment thereon. The costs of dispute resolution by the Designated
Environmental Engineer shall be borne equally by the Parent and the KSHC
Shareholders and as between the KSHC Initial Shareholders, on a percentage
basis equal to the percentages set forth opposite their respective names on
Schedule 6.01.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
indemnity obligation for Losses arising out of the disclosed items set forth in
Schedule 4.17 of the KSHC Disclosure Schedule shall be limited to activities
required by Environmental Law and the applicable provisions in any KSHC Real
Property Contract or satisfied by implementation or indemnification of the
Lowest Cost Response. Should Parent, at the Parent's sole discretion,
undertake remedial action or such other action that exceeds the requirements of
the Lowest Cost Response, Parent shall bear the incremental costs, if any,
incurred in implementing the more stringent remedy.
(e) The KSHC Representative and Parent shall cooperate with each other
with respect to making claims under (i) any occurrence-based policies written
by third party insurance companies, to the extent such policies were applicable
to the relevant properties prior to the Closing Date, (ii) any acquisition
agreements with third parties, to the extent such agreements are in effect as
of the Closing Date and afford indemnification rights for the benefit of such
entities and (iii) any underground storage tank or similar environmental
reimbursement program, to the extent such programs are available to such
entities at any time after the Closing Date, for reimbursement or contribution
in connection with environmental matters disclosed on Schedule 4.17 of the KSHC
Disclosure Schedule. Such cooperation shall include making all reasonable
claims and demands against such third parties with respect to such
environmental matters and pursuing such claims and demands in a commercially
reasonable manner.
(f) Parent and the KSHC Representative will not initiate or encourage
any action by any third party, including any Governmental Body, which could
reasonably be expected to lead to a claim by such third party with respect to
any environmental matter of the KSHC Shareholders for which the KSHC
Shareholders are responsible pursuant to Section 6.01, except to the extent
required by Environmental Law; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
prevent Parent from conducting and implementing environmental audits in the
ordinary course of business.
(g) Indemnification claimed by the Parent under Section 6.01 is the
exclusive remedy available to the Parent for all Losses arising out of all
matters covered thereby and the Parent waives its rights for relief against the
KSHC Shareholders under any other applicable law.
Section 6.03 Releases; Obligation of the Parent to Indemnify.
14
18
(a) (i) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain

notice thereof to the Parent, which notice shall describe such demand, claim or
circumstance in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if
necessary) of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by such KSHC
Shareholder. The Parent shall compromise or defend, at its own expense and by
its own counsel, any such demand, claim or circumstance, and such KSHC
Shareholder shall cooperate, at the expense of the Parent, in the compromise or
defense thereof. Such KSHC Shareholder shall make available to the Parent and
its counsel any books, records or other documents within its control that are
necessary or appropriate for such compromise or defense.
(iv) Parent shall reimburse the KSHC Shareholders for any fees
relating to letters of credit or similar instruments issued for the account of
any KSHC Entity that any such KSHC Shareholder incurs for any period on or
after the Closing Date, payable in immediately available funds to such KSHC
Shareholder on a quarterly basis within ten business days following the last
