In any such proceeding, following receipt of notice properly given, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to assume the entire defense of such Claim (with counsel selected by it which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or Persons), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the entire cost of defending such Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any such Claim if (a) such Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal action, (b) injunctive or other equitable relief is sought in connection with such Claim, or (c) the Indemnified Person in good faith determines that the defense of such Claim by the Indemnifying Party would be reasonably likely to result in the Indemnifying Party having a conflict of interest.  With respect to any Claims described in subsections (a) through (c) of the preceding sentence, (1) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in such defense, at its own cost, and (2) the Indemnified Person shall not have the right to settle such Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.  With respect to any Claim in which the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to settle any such Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Person or Persons, except that the Indemnifying Party may effect a settlement of any such Claim if the following three conditions are met: (x) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Indemnified Person or Persons and there is no effect on any other Claim that may be made against the Indemnified Person or Persons; (y) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (z) the settlement includes, as an unconditional term, the claimant&#8217;s or the plaintiff&#8217;s release of the Indemnified Person or Persons, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or Persons, from all liability in respect of the Claim.  In the event of the assumption of the defense of a Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any further legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with such defense unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnifying Party or as herein provided; provided, however, the Indemnified Persons shall have the right to participate in such defense, at their own cost.  </font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">44</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">9.4</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Limit on Indemnity Obligations</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(a)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">No Indemnified Person shall be entitled to seek indemnification from any Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.1(a) with respect to any Claim unless such Indemnified Person notifies such Indemnifying Party of such Claim (i) within eighteen (18) months after the date of the Closing, with respect to Claims other than those arising from the breach of any Fundamental Representation; (ii) within 90 days after the applicable statute of limitations has expired with respect to Claims arising from a breach of Section 4.18 (Environmental Matters), Section 4.26 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 4.27 (Employment Matters), Section 4.30 (Taxes), Section 4.32 (Absence of Certain Business Practices), Section 4.33 (FCPA) or Section 4.34 (Export Controls); or (iii) at any time with respect to Claims arising from the breach of any Fundamental Representation.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(b)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">If the total amount of all Claims which Purchaser or any of its related persons has the right to assert against Seller and Seller Representative under Sections 9.1(a) and 9.2 ("</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Purchaser Claims</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">"), other than Claims arising from the breach of any Fundamental Representation and Claims arising under Sections 9.2(g) and 9.2(h), does not exceed $150,000 (the "</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Basket</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">"), then Seller and Seller Representative shall have no obligation under this ARTICLE IX with respect to any such Claims.

Examples include turnkey solutions for atmospheric and liquid terminals, natural gas processing, sulfur recovery, processing and handling, industrial power distribution, and material handling systems and terminals.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Said Houston Interests&#8217; founder, Doug Houston, &#8220;I am extremely proud of Houston Interests, our employees and the market strategy we&#8217;ve worked hard to bring to fruition. In transitioning the company from my leadership, it was a business imperative that I ensure the vision we&#8217;ve set and the company we&#8217;ve built would be in good hands. It was equally important to me that anyone assuming the reins of this company be a strong cultural and strategic match. Matrix meets those objectives.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Houston Interests generates annual average revenue in excess of $100 million. It has historically been represented in the marketplace through several brands: Devco USA, River Consulting, S&amp;R Technical Services, Process Plant Services, and Devco Process Heaters. The company has subsequently worked to fully integrate its operations and capabilities of these brands. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Effective immediately, Houston Interests&#8217; nearly 250 employees, located in Tulsa, Okla., Pittsburgh, Pa., Columbus, Ohio and New Orleans, La. will operate as Matrix PDM Engineering. The Tulsa operations of both companies will be combined into one facility.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Matrix PDM will be led by an integrated team comprised of Houston Interests existing management, as well as current Matrix PDM management.

In connection with the transaction and to maintain liquidity objectives, the Company exercised an expansion feature in its credit facility which increased borrowing capacity from $200 million to $250 million. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:14pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">The Company&#8217;s total leverage ratio post-acquisition, including letters of credit, is less than 1.0x. Based on the strong historical cash flow characteristics of Matrix, as well as those of Houston Interests, we expect to maintain a strong balance sheet.</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14pt;">&#32;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:14pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Going forward, Matrix anticipates the transaction will be modestly accretive to earnings in the balance of this fiscal year.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">In conjunction with this announcement, Matrix Service Company will host a webcast with John Hewitt, President and CEO and Kevin Cavanah, Vice President and CFO.
