Temporal Limits on Indemnification Obligations Bar Claims Asserted After Survival Period Expires

In Plains Pipeline v. Arrowhead Gulf Coast Holdings, Judge Adrogué granted summary judgment for defendants on indemnification claims arising from Louisiana erosion litigation, holding that the asset purchase agreement's exclusive remedy and survival provisions unambiguously barred claims asserted after the one-year indemnification period expired. The court rejected plaintiffs' argument that defendants' assumption of liabilities created perpetual reimbursement obligations independent of Article X's temporal limitations.
