As used herein, “Post Closing Claim” means any claim made by a third party (other than Sellers or their Affiliates) with respect to the operation of the Business, Facilities or Purchased Assets by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer on or after the Closing Date provided that such claim does not arise out of or relate to (1) any act or omission of Sellers or any of their Affiliates or (2) any contractual or other commercial arrangement entered into after the date hereof between Buyer and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Sellers or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand.
(c) If any third party asserts a claim against a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (each an “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter for which such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification against Sellers or Buyers, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article X, then such Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party thereof within thirty (30) days thereafter, such notice to state the nature and basis of any claim made by the third party; provided that, no delay on the part of an Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve an Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless, and then solely to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is demonstrably prejudiced thereby. In the event the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the date the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter, then the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party within such 30-day period, assume the defense of such matter. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such matter, (i) the Indemnifying Party will defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel at its sole cost and expense, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of a judgment or consent order with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement, in each case which either (A) grants the plaintiff or claimant any form of relief other than monetary damages which will be satisfied in full by the Indemnifying Party or (B) fails to include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, in either such case without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such matter, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against the matter in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate, and with counsel of its choice, and without prejudice to its indemnification rights hereunder, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may retain separate counsel at their sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if defendants in any action include any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party, and any Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be material legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party inconsistent with those available to one or more Indemnifying Parties, or if a conflict of interest exists between any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or the defense thereof, or if the Indemnifying Party’s control of such defense would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Business or the outcome of the matter, then in any such case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to re-assume such defense through its own counsel, and in such event (or in the event that the Indemnifying Party does not timely assume or diligently pursue the defense of such matter as provided above) the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party and shall be paid by it from time to time within twenty (20) days of receipt of appropriate invoices therefore.
(d) In the event that an Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of any claim for indemnification hereunder that does not involve a third party claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of Damages payable pursuant to this Section 10.01 and shall thereafter pay any other Damages payable pursuant to this Section 10.01 and arising out of the same matter on demand, unless the Indemnifying Party disputes in writing their liability for, or the amount of, any such Damages within such 30-day period, in which case such payment shall be made as provided above in respect of any matters or amounts not so disputed and any Damages in respect of the matters so disputed shall be paid within five (5) Business Days after any determination (by agreement of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or pursuant to arbitration in accordance with Section 11.11) that the Indemnifying Party is liable therefor pursuant to this Section 10.01.
(e) In connection with any payment of Damages pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount calculated like interest on the amount of such Damages at the Reference Rate from the date of the Closing until the Indemnified Party shall have been true when indemnified in respect thereof.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor Sellers shall have any indemnification obligation in respect of any inaccuracies or misrepresentations in or breaches of any representations or warranties under Section 10.01(a)(i) or 10.01(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, respectively, exceeds $210,000 (the “Basket”), and then only to the extent such Damages exceed the Basket. The aggregate liability of Sellers, on the one hand, and the aggregate liability of Buyer, on the other, to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, respectively, in respect of inaccuracies or misrepresentations in or breaches of or defaults under representations or warranties under Section 10.01(a)(i) or 10.01(b)(i), as applicable, shall not exceed the sum of (i) $8,000,000 less (ii) the amount of any payments actually made by Central to Buyer for indemnity claims under the Xxxxxxx Lease (such sum, the “Cap”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Basket nor the Cap shall apply to any Damages resulting from or arising out of (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or (ii) a breach of the representations and warranties made in Section 4.02 (Authority; Enforceability), Section 4.08(c) (Title), Section 4.10 (Taxes), Section 4.13(a) (Ownership of Real Property) Section 4.16 (Employee Benefit Plans), and Section 5.02 (Authority, Enforceability), nor shall any such Damages apply toward satisfaction of the Basket or Cap. For purposes of calculating the Damages incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Sellers (but not for purposes of determining the existence of such inaccuracy or breach), any “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier contained in the applicable representation or warranty shall be disregarded.
(g) The amount of any Damages for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnity under this Section 10.01 shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates with respect to such Damages (net in each case of (i) any costs incurred to recover such amounts (including any related retrospective premium adjustments resulting from assertion of such claims), (ii) any losses in respect of the same matter that are not subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.01(a) of this Agreement or any limitations contained in this Agreement, and (iii) any insurance proceeds that are subject to any self-insurance or re-insurance arrangements that are effectively equivalent to self-insurance arrangements by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates). Under no circumstances shall the possibility of a future insurance recovery be a basis for reducing the Damages subject to indemnification hereunder prior to the actual receipt of such benefit or recovery, or for limiting, postponing or delaying satisfaction of any indemnification obligation hereunder or any Indemnified Party’s right to be indemnified.
(h) The parties agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the remedies provided in this Section 10.01 shall constitute the parties’ exclusive remedies for claims arising out of or related to this Agreement, including claims based on breaches of representations and warranties; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.01(h) will operate to limit any equitable remedies (including specific performance) available to an Indemnified Party, or the common law liability of any Indemnifying Party for fraud in the event such Indemnifying Party is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed a fraud against the Indemnified Party with respect to the representations and warranties of each party contained herein set forth in Section 4 or Section 5 of this Agreement.
(i) Any claim for indemnity under Sections 10.01(a)(i)-(iii), (v) or 10.01(b) SHALL NOT INCLUDE PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, DAMAGES BASED ON A MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS BASED ON THE LOSS OF PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE NOT THE SUBJECT OF A CONTRACT ACTUALLY AWARDED, unless in each case any such Damages arise out of a third party claim against an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.01(c).
(j) Any Indemnified Party shall act in good faith and use its reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of any Damages for which it seeks indemnification, provided however, no Indemnified Party shall have any obligation to resort to litigation or an outside collection agency as part of such mitigation, nor shall an Indemnified Party have any obligation to compromise or waive any other right or accept any liability or other future obligation or burden in order to mitigate its Damages.
(k) Subject to the accuracy of Sellers’ representations and warranties in Section 4.15, as of the Closing Date, or (ii) and subject to the breach other provisions of any covenant or agreement of Buyers contained herein or in any Ancillary Document.
(b) From and after the Closing Datethis Article X, Stockholders shall Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyers and any affiliate of Buyers and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, "Buyers' Indemnified Group") Seller Indemnitees from and against all Losses any and in respect of any Damages actually incurred or suffered by Buyers' Indemnified Group to the extent the Losses arise out of, or any Seller Indemnitee as a result from (i) the of any failure of any representation or warranty made by Stockholders herein or San Diego Precast to comply with the Worker Adjustment Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxx, 00 X.X.X. §§000x, et seq.
