To Seller’s knowledge, there are no other: pending arbitration proceedings or unsatisfied arbitration awards, or judicial proceedings or orders respecting awards, which might become a lien on the Property or any portion thereof, pending unfair labor practice charges or complaints, unsatisfied unfair labor practice orders or judicial proceedings or orders with respect thereto, pending charges or complaints with or by city, state or federal civil or human rights agencies, unremedied orders by such agencies or judicial proceedings or orders with respect to obligations under city, state or federal civil or human rights or antidiscrimination laws or executive orders affecting the Hotel, or other pending, actual or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened litigation claims, charges, complaints, petitions or unsatisfied orders by or before any administrative agency or court which affect the Hotel or might become a lien on the Hotel (collectively, the “Pending Claims”).
Assets Reserved and Pending Claims (a) If, upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, there are any assets that, in the judgment of the Liquidating Trustee, cannot be sold or distributed in kind without sacrificing a significant portion of the value thereof or where such sale or distribution is otherwise impractical at the time of the Dissolution Event, such assets may be retained by the Company if the Liquidating Trustee determines that the retention of such assets is in the best interests of the Members. Upon the sale of such assets or a determination by the Liquidating Trustee that circumstances no longer require their retention, such assets (at their Fair Value) or the proceeds of their sale shall be taken into account in computing Capital Account on winding up and amounts distributable pursuant to Section 6.2(b), and distributed in accordance with such value. (b) If there are any claims or potential claims (including potential Company expenses in connection therewith) against the Company (either directly or indirectly, including potential claims for which the Company might have an indemnification obligation) for which the possible loss cannot, in the judgment of the Liquidating Trustee, be definitively ascertained, then such claims shall initially be taken into account in computing The Capital Account upon winding up and distributions pursuant to Section 6.2(b) at an amount estimated by the Liquidating Trustee to be sufficient to cover any potential loss or liability on account of such claims (including such potential Company expenses), and the Company shall retain funds (or assets) determined by the Liquidating Trustee in its discretion as a reserve against such potential losses and liabilities, including expenses associated therewith, and for any other Company purpose. The Liquidating Trustee may in its discretion obtain insurance or create escrow accounts or make other similar arrangements with respect to such losses and liabilities. Upon final settlement of such claims (including such potential Company expenses) or a determination by the Liquidating Trustee that the probable loss therefrom can be definitively ascertained, such claims (including such potential Company expenses) shall be taken into account in the amount at which they were settled or in the amount of the probable loss therefrom in computing the Capital Account on winding up and amounts distributable pursuant to Section 6.2(b), and any excess funds retained shall be distributed as such funds would be distributed under Section 6.2(b).
Litigation; Claims Any rights (including indemnification) and claims and recoveries under litigation of Seller against third parties arising out of or relating to events prior to the Closing Date;
Litigation; Decrees There is no Litigation pending or, to the Buyer’s knowledge, threatened in writing that challenges the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or seeks to enjoin or prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any outstanding Decree that would prevent or materially impair or delay Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or perform its obligations hereunder on a timely basis.
Priority of Claims Anything contained herein or in any of the Secured Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.03), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Applicable Collateral Agent or any First-Lien Secured Party is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Bankruptcy Case of the Company or any other Grantor or any First-Lien Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Collateral by any First-Lien Secured Party or received by the Applicable Collateral Agent or any First-Lien Secured Party pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement with respect to such Shared Collateral and proceeds of any such distribution (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to the sentence immediately following) to which the First-Lien Obligations are entitled under any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”) shall be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment of all amounts owing to each Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) pursuant to the terms of any Secured Credit Document, (ii) SECOND, subject to Section 1.03, to the payment in full of the First-Lien Obligations of each Series on a ratable basis, with such Proceeds to be applied to the First-Lien Obligations of a given Series in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Credit Documents, and (iii) THIRD, after payment of all First-Lien Obligations, to the Company and the other Grantors or their successors or assigns, as their interests may appear, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral upon which a third party (other than a First-Lien Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of First-Lien Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of First-Lien Obligations (such third party, an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of First-Lien Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.
Contested Claims In the event that the Indemnifying Party disputes the Claimed Amount, as soon as practicable but in no event later than ten (10) days after the receipt of the notice referenced in Section 10.2(b)(ii) hereof, the Parties will begin the process to resolve the matter in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of Section 1.4 hereof. Upon ultimate resolution thereof, the Parties will take such actions as are reasonably necessary to comply with such agreement or instructions.
Method of Asserting Claims, Etc The party claiming indemnification is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the party against whom such claims are asserted hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” All Claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under this Article 5 shall be asserted as follows: (a) In the event that any Claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party, said Indemnified Party shall, within ten (10) business days from the date upon which the Indemnified Party has Knowledge of such Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Claim or demand) (the “Claim Notice”). The Indemnified Party’s failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability hereunder unless such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the claim or demand. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the giving of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party: (i) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Claim or demand, and (ii) whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claims or demand; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading which he shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect his interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that he, she or it does not dispute liability for indemnification under this Article 5 and that such person desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand and except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or prosecuted by him to a final conclusion. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, the Indemnifying Party has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Indemnifying Party and the position of such Indemnified Party (a “Material Conflict”). If requested by the Indemnifying Party and there is no Material Conflict, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and his, her or its counsel in contesting any Claim or demand which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest or, if appropriate and related to the Claim in question, in making any Counterclaim against the person asserting the third party Claim or demand, or any cross-complaint against any person. No Claim for which indemnity is sought hereunder and for which the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged liability for indemnification under this Article 5 may be settled without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a Claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Claim or demand being asserted against or sought to be collected from him by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall give a Claim Notice with respect to such Claim to the Indemnifying Party. If, after receipt of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that he, she or it disputes such Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have admitted liability for such Claim in the amount set forth in the Claim Notice. (c) The Indemnifying Party shall be given the opportunity to defend the respective Claim.
Disputed Claims 4.1 Notwithstanding paragraph 4.5 of this Schedule, payment by the Authority of all or any part of any invoice rendered or other claim for payment by the Contractor shall not signify approval of such invoice/claim. The Authority reserves the right to verify invoices/claims after the date of payment and subsequently to recover any sums which have been overpaid. 4.2 If any part of a claim rendered by the Contractor is disputed or subject to question by the Authority either before or after payment then the Authority may call for the Contractor to provide such further documentary and oral evidence as it may reasonably require to verify its liability to pay the amount which is disputed or subject to question and the Contractor shall promptly provide such evidence in a form satisfactory to the Authority. 4.3 If any part of a claim rendered by the Contractor is disputed or subject to question by the Authority, the Authority shall not withhold payment of the remainder. 4.4 If any invoice rendered by the Contractor is paid but any part of it is disputed or subject to question by the Authority and such part is subsequently agreed or determined not to have been properly payable then the Contractor shall forthwith repay such part to the Authority. 4.5 The Authority shall be entitled to deduct from sums due to the Contractor by way of set-off any amounts owed to it or which are in dispute or subject to question either in respect of the invoice for which payment is being made or any previous invoice.
Uncontested Claims In the event that the Indemnification ------------------ Representative does not contest a Notice of Claim in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Indemnification Representative of such Notice of Claim, as provided below in Section 2.3(b) (an "Uncontested Claim"), Parent ----------------- may deliver to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to the Indemnification Representative, a written demand by Parent (a "Parent Demand") stating that a ------------- Notice of Claim has been given as required in this Escrow Agreement and that no notice of contest has been received by the Escrow Agent from the Indemnification Representative during the period specified in this Escrow Agreement, and further setting forth the proposed Escrow Adjustments to be made in accordance with this Section 2.3(a). Within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Parent Demand, the Indemnification Representative may object by a written notice delivered to Parent and the Escrow Agent to the computations or other administrative matters relating to the proposed Escrow Adjustments (but may not object to the validity or amount of the Claim previously disclosed in the Notice of Claim and not previously timely objected to under paragraph (b)), whereupon the Escrow Agent shall not make any of the Escrow Adjustments until either: (i) the Escrow Agent shall have received from Parent and the Indemnification Representative written notice setting forth agreed Escrow Adjustments, or (ii) the matter is resolved as provided in Sections 2.3(b) and 2.3(c). Any Escrow Adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall be satisfied by release of a number of Escrow Shares equal to the amount of such Claim divided by the Topaz Average Current Price for the last five (5) days of such thirty day period as certified to the Escrow Agent by Parent as described in Section 2.1. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing, the Escrow Agent, as directed in writing by Parent, and Parent shall promptly take all steps to release the final Escrow Adjustments.
Method of Asserting Claims All claims for indemnification under Section 9, other than any Tax Claim (which shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in Section 9.4) and any Environmental Claim (which shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in Section 9.5), will be asserted and resolved as follows: 9.3.1 Subject to the provisions of each of Section 9.1 and Section 9.2, a party claiming indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by a third party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) shall deliver notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to timely give such Claim Notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have (i) been prejudiced as a result of such failure or (ii) forfeited rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party as a result of such failure. 9.3.2 In the case of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense and settlement thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to control such defense and any settlement. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days following a Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, may employ its own counsel and control the defense of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel employed by the Indemnified Party in each applicable jurisdiction, provided that in any such case the Indemnified Party shall diligently and in good faith contest such Third Party Claim. Whether the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party controls the defense of any Third Party Claim, the parties shall cooperate in the defense thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and provision to the counsel of the controlling party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a commercially reasonable, mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle, compromise or discharge a Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent if such settlement, compromise or discharge (i) constitutes a complete and unconditional discharge and release of the Indemnified Party, (ii) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by, or on behalf of, any such Indemnified Party and (iii) provides for no relief other than the payment of monetary damages and such monetary damages are paid by the Indemnifying Party (subject to, if Seller is the Indemnifying Party, the Deductible Amount, the Minimum Amount and the Maximum Amount, as provided above). No Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party desires to settle a Third Party Claim, it shall provide the Indemnifying Party with a written document signed by the Person making the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party setting forth the terms of the proposed settlement (the “Settlement Offer”). The Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such proposed settlement unless it agrees that it shall indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 9, subject to the Maximum Amount, the Minimum Amount and the Deductible Amount, provided that the amount of the final settlement or judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim that is in excess of the amount of the Settlement Offer shall not be subject to the Maximum Amount nor shall it be applied against the Maximum Amount. 9.3.3 If an Indemnified Party has a claim against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice (an “Indemnity Notice”) within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has Knowledge of any claim that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification and shall include in such Indemnity Notice the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement upon which such claim is based, provided, however, that failure to timely give such Indemnity Notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have (i) been prejudiced as a result of such failure or (ii) forfeited rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party as a result of such failure. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within thirty (30) days, the Indemnified Party may commence an Action in connection therewith.
