Unless the same LLC holds other properties, a seller LLC’s indemnity clause does not appear that useful after closing even when PSA specifies that the clause survives the closing. What language do you use to add the members/principals of the seller entity in assuming the seller’s indemnity obligations or even broadly all of its major obligations in the said transaction?
