The foregoing limitations shall not apply to the extent that the Claims are caused by a Responsible Party’s willful or intentional misconduct, or gross negligence.

Liability Limits (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not make a claim against any Seller for indemnification under this Article IX for Purchaser Losses unless and until, and only to the extent that, the aggregate amount of such Purchaser Losses exceeds $450,000 (the “Purchaser Basket”), in which event the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may claim indemnification for all Purchaser Losses in excess of $450,000; provided, however, that Purchaser Losses related to Surviving Obligations shall not be subject to the Purchaser Basket nor shall they be included in calculating the Purchaser Basket. The total aggregate amount of the liability of Holdco and the Sellers for Purchaser Losses shall be limited to $11,000,000 (the “Purchaser Cap”); provided, however, that Purchaser Losses arising from Surviving Obligations shall not be subject to the Purchaser Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Sellers and Holdco for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX exceed the amount equal to the Maximum Cap. (b) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article IX for Purchaser Losses to the extent such Purchaser Losses were (i) reflected as a liability on the Final Working Capital Schedule or (ii) included on the Closing Date Expense Statement or the Closing Date Indebtedness Statement and, with respect to the foregoing clause (ii), were paid at Closing. (c) Any indemnification obligation of the Sellers pursuant to this Article IX shall be satisfied first from the Escrow Fund, and if the Escrow Fund is insufficient, at the sole discretion of the Purchaser, (a) by Holdco and/or (b) by each of the Sellers on a several and not joint basis; provided that: (i) each Non-Individual Seller’s liability for any Purchaser Loss shall not exceed such Non-Individual Seller’s Seller Percentage of such Purchaser Loss, and in the event a Non-Individual Seller indemnifies a Purchaser Indemnified Party for a Purchaser Loss, such indemnification payment shall, with respect to such Purchaser Loss, reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the indemnification limits under Section 9.5(c)(ii) or Section 9.5(c)(iii), as applicable, of the Individual Seller to which such Non-Individual Seller is a Related Party; (ii) each Individual Seller’s liability for any Purchaser Loss shall not exceed such Individual Seller’s Indemnification Percentage of such Purchaser Loss, and in the event that an Individual Seller indemnifies a Purchaser Indemnified Party in an amount equal to such Individual Seller’s Indemnification Percentage of such Purchaser Loss, the Purchaser Indemnified Party may not seek indemnification from such Individual Seller’s Related Parties as a result of such Purchaser Loss; and (iii) each Individual Seller is responsible for 100% of any Purchaser Loss arising under Section 9.1(a) with respect to a breach by such Individual Seller or such Individual Seller’s Related Party of any representation in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, or 5.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may, at its sole discretion, set off any obligation of the Sellers for Purchaser Losses pursuant to this Article IX from any Earnout Amount payable to Holdco pursuant to the Earnout Agreement. In no event shall the Purchaser be entitled to use any of the funds held in the Escrow Fund to satisfy any of its indemnification obligations to any Seller Indemnified Party. (d) The amount of Purchaser Losses otherwise payable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article IX shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to such Purchaser Losses under insurance policies maintained by the Company prior to the date hereof. (e) No Purchaser Loss or Seller Loss shall include punitive damages (unless required to be paid by the Indemnified Party in respect of a Third Party Claim).
Indemnification Limitations (a) In no event shall the Sellers be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the representations and warranties in Section 4.1 (Corporate Status), Section 4.2 (Authority), the first two sentences of each of Section 4.4(a) and 4.4(b) (Capitalization), Section 4.7 (Taxes), and Section 4.21 (Finder’s Fee) (collectively, the “Excluded Representations”) and Section 4.17 (Sufficiency of Assets)) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses with respect to Section 10.2(a)(i) that are imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds $1,400,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses from the first dollar, including both the Threshold Amount and any amounts in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Sellers shall not (i) be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the Excluded Representations) in an aggregate amount in excess of $18,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”), or (ii) be liable for indemnification with respect to any Loss by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the Excluded Representations) to the extent such Loss and all Losses arising out of the same facts and circumstances are, in the aggregate, less than $15,000 (each, a “De Minimis Loss”) (and such Losses shall be disregarded and shall not be aggregated for purposes of the Threshold Amount unless and until such Losses arising out of the same facts or circumstances exceed the De Minimis Loss amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers shall have ninety (90) days after the receipt of an indemnification claim for any Loss by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of Section 4.20(b) (Products Liability; Warranty) in which to propose a commercially reasonable alternative to satisfy such claim, including the repair, replacement or redelivery of any products that are the subject of such claim, which such commercially reasonable alternative is subject to the prior written approval of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being understood that any and all costs or other Losses imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties arising out of such alternative shall, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein, be considered indemnifable Losses). Purchaser shall not be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i) in an aggregate amount in excess of the Indemnification Cap. (b) In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made or could be made under any other representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement and shall be computed net of (i) payments recovered by the Indemnified Party under indemnification agreements or arrangements with third parties or under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses (after deduction for any cost of collection, deductible, retroactive premium adjustment, reimbursement obligation or other cost or expense directly related thereto) (each, a “Collateral Source”), (ii) any prior recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses, including by such Loss being included as a Liability in Final Net Working Capital and actually resulting in an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.4(f), or (iii) any Tax Benefit actually received by a Purchased Entity with respect to such Losses in the year of the indemnity payment or a prior year, but increased by the amount of any Tax detriment actually paid by any Indemnified Party as a result of such party’s receipt of the indemnification payment with respect to such Loss. In the event of any indemnification claim paid, Honeywell may, in its sole discretion, require the Indemnified Party to grant to Honeywell an assignment of the right of such Indemnified Party to assert a claim against any Collateral Source. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under this Article X or Article VIII is determined after payment of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party under this Article X or Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article X or Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment. (c) Subject to the other provisions of this Article X, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) in no event shall the Sellers or Purchaser be liable for any punitive damages, except to the extent such damages are payable to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) in no event shall the Sellers be liable for any consequential damages (it being understood and agreed that the term “consequential damages” used herein shall not include damages related to lost profits, diminution in value (including multiple of earnings or similar metrics for measuring damages), nor damages payable to an unaffiliated third party) arising out of indemnification claims for Excluded Liabilities described in Sections 2.5(a)(iv), (v)(A), (vii)(B), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii), and (xiv) and Section 2.5(b)(vi) (each such indemnification claim, a “Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim”) in excess of $28,000,000; provided that the foregoing limitation on consequential damages shall not apply to the extent any such Excluded Liability relates to the Excluded Assets, the Purchased Entities’ Excluded Assets, or operation or conduct by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates of any business (other than the Business). Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to, in good faith, (x) agree upon what portion of damages (if any) constitute consequential damages in connection with the settlement of a Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim and (y) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Governmental Authority to determine what portion of damages (if any) constitute consequential damages as part of any Governmental Order that is entered by such Governmental Authority in connection with a Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim. (d) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, after the Closing, indemnification and specific performance pursuant to the provisions of this Article X, Section 6.14 and Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any and all claims (whether in contract or in tort) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (other than remedies set forth in the Ancillary Agreements with regard to the transactions contemplated thereby), including in respect of any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, as a material inducement to the Sellers entering into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any claim or cause of action, known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen, which it or any of the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties may have against any Seller or any of its Affiliates, including without limitation under the common law or federal or state securities Laws, trade regulation Laws or other Laws (including any relating to Intellectual Property, products liability (including Products Liability Claims), Tax, environmental, real estate or employee matters), by reason of this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein, except for claims or causes of action brought under and subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions contained in this Article X and Article VIII. All payments made pursuant to this Article X and Article VIII shall be made by the Sellers to Purchaser or by Purchaser to the Sellers, as the case may be, and shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Article X shall limit any claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party alleging that Sellers defrauded such Person by intentionally omitting or misstating any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule where such omission or misstatement constitutes a breach in any material respect of any express representation or warranty, which claims shall, in any case, be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.23, 5.7(a)-(d), 11.7 and 11.8. (e) The Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached, so that a party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof. In particular, the parties acknowledge that the Business is unique and recognize and affirm that in the event that the Sellers breach this Agreement, money damages would be inadequate and Purchaser would have no adequate remedy at law, so that Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the Sellers’ obligations hereunder not only by action for damages but also by action for specific performance, injunctive, and/or other equitable relief.

Other Limitations Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the amount of any Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be calculated net of (a) any insurance proceeds actually received in cash (net of any applicable deductibles, co-payments, “retro premium” adjustments and similar costs or payments) by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates on account of such Loss, (b) any Tax Benefits inuring to the Indemnified Party on account of such Loss and (c) any indemnification, contribution or other payment actually received in cash (net of any applicable costs of recovery or collection thereof) from any third Person with respect to such Loss. The Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) seek full recovery from any third parties and under all insurance policies covering, and all right to indemnification and/or contribution from third Persons in respect of, any Loss and (B) mitigate any actual or potential Loss, in each case to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII (including, for example, Buyer’s judgment regarding the impact such actions might have on customers and other third parties having material continuing business relationships with the Sold Companies). In the event that an insurance, indemnification, contribution or other recovery is made or a Tax benefit described in this Section 8.7(b) is realized by the Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which it has been indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery or benefit shall be paid promptly in immediately available funds to the Indemnifying Party that provided such indemnification to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party receives a Tax Benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party that made such indemnification payment the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is realized by the Indemnified Party. For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean, with respect to any applicable Loss, any cash Tax savings or refunds that are received and actually recognized by the Indemnified Party in the tax year of the respective Loss, and any amounts actually credited against cash Taxes payable of the Indemnified Party in the tax year of the respective Loss, in each case determined on a with and without basis (comparing the actual cash Tax liability of the Indemnified Party for the applicable year against the hypothetical cash Tax liability of the Indemnified Party had such Loss not been incurred); provided, that no Tax Benefit shall be taken into account with respect to a Loss to the extent such Loss (or the receipt of an indemnity payment in respect of such Loss) would result in a reduction of Tax basis in depreciable or amortizable property; provided, further, that in no event shall the Tax Benefit be deemed to exceed the amount of any indemnification payment paid to the Indemnified Party. The Seller Indemnified Persons or the Buyer Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to recover more than once for the same Loss. No Seller Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover any Loss if and to the extent such Loss is reflected in the calculation of Closing Indebtedness, Unpaid Sold Company Transaction Expenses or Closing Net Working Capital.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, EACH PARTY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 7 (“SECURITY AND PRIVACY”) AND SECTION 9 ("CONFIDENTIALITY") ABOVE SHALL NOT EXCEED TWO (2) TIMES THE AMOUNT OF FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY THE CUSTOMER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY (“ENHANCED CAP”).

Indemnity Limitation for TIPS Sales Texas and other jurisdictions restrict the ability of governmental entities to indemnify others. Vendor agrees that if any "Indemnity" provision which requires the TIPS Member to indemnify Vendor is included in any TIPS sales agreement/contract between Vendor and a TIPS Member, that clause must either be stricken or qualified by including that such indemnity is only permitted, "to the extent permitted by the laws and constitution of [TIPS Member's State]” unless the TIPS Member expressly agrees otherwise. Any TIPS Sale Supplemental Agreement containing an "Indemnity" clause that conflicts with these terms is rendered void and unenforceable.
Contribution; Limitations on Liability; Non-Exclusive Remedy If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other from the offering of the Shares, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total commissions received by the Agent (before deducting expenses) from the sale of the Shares. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Agent, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by it under this Agreement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
