Contractor’s Liability By requiring insurance, the State and DCYF do not represent that the coverage and limits specified will be adequate to protect Contractor. Such coverage and limits shall not limit Contractor’s liability under the terms and conditions of this Contract.
Limitations on Claims In addition to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 9(a) above, the Employer shall not be obligated pursuant to this Agreement:
(i) To indemnify or advance expenses to Executive with respect to a Proceeding initiated by Executive, except (i) for Proceedings authorized or consented to by the Board; or (ii) in the event a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses (including attorneys’ fees) made under this Agreement is not paid in full within sixty (60) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Employer, Executive may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim, including attorneys’ fees. In any such action, the Employer shall have the burden of proving that Executive was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law or this Agreement.
(ii) To indemnify Executive for any expenses incurred by Executive with respect to any Proceeding instituted by Executive to enforce or interpret this Agreement, unless Executive is successful in establishing Executive’s right to indemnification in such Proceeding, in whole or in part; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9(d)(ii) is intended to limit the Employer’s obligation with respect to the advancement of expenses to Executive in connection with any Proceeding instituted by Executive to enforce or interpret this Agreement, as provided in Section 9(c) above.
(iii) To indemnify Executive in connection with proceedings or claims involving the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement (other than as otherwise specifically provided for in this Section 9) or any other employment, severance or compensation plan or agreement that Executive may be a party to, or beneficiary of, with the Employer or any other Company.

Limitations on Damages Neither Party shall be liable for any consequential, special or indirect losses or damages suffered by the other Party, whether or not the likelihood of such losses or damages was known by the Party.
Limitations of contractual liability No Party shall be responsible to any other Party for any indirect or consequential loss or similar damage such as, but not limited to, loss of profit, loss of revenue or loss of contracts, provided such damage was not caused by a willful act or by a breach of confidentiality. For any remaining contractual liability, a Party’s aggregate liability towards the other Parties collectively shall be limited to the Party’s share of the total costs of the Project as identified in Project Contract, provided such damage was not caused by a willful act or gross negligence. The terms of the Partnership Agreement shall not be construed to amend or limit any Party’s statutory liability.
Limitations on Use No part of the moneys delivered to the Recipient pursuant to Section II hereof is being or will be used to refinance, retire, redeem, or otherwise pay debt service on all or any part of any part of any governmental obligations regardless of whether the interest on such obligations is or was excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes unless prior approval by the Director is given.
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.
Limitations on Guarantees The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.
Limitations on Indemnification Obligations The rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(b) are subject to the following provisions:
(a) None of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for any particular Loss pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in the case of Fraud) unless such Loss equals or exceeds $10,000 (and no such Loss less than $10,000 shall be applied against the Deductible).
(b) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in the case of Fraud) until the total amount which the Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i), as applicable, in the aggregate (as limited by the other provisions hereof), but for this Section 7.4(b), exceeds $1,192,500 (the “Deductible”), in which case the applicable Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount, subject to the other limitations herein.
(c) Except, in each case, in the case of Fraud, (i) the maximum liability of Seller to the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any Losses of the Purchaser Indemnitees indemnifiable pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) shall not exceed $1,192,500 and (ii) the maximum liability of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, for indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article VII shall not exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price.
(d) The amount of any and all Losses indemnifiable hereunder shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties under insurance policies (excluding, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses (which amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties shall be calculated, in each case, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery). In any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee actually recovers, under insurance policies (excluding, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) or from other collateral sources, any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was previously indemnified hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Responsible Party a refund equal to the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery), if and solely to the extent that such amount of recovery would have reduced the amount to which the Indemnified Party would have been entitled pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(d), but not in excess of the aggregate amount previously paid to the Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect of such matter.
(e) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, to the extent available and subject to applicable retention and other coverage limitations thereunder, for any Losses for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or for any Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) prior to seeking indemnification from Seller under this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 7.4(e) shall limit the Purchaser Indemnitees’ rights to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) to the extent that recovery is not available under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy for any reason with respect to all or any portion of such Losses. The amount of any and all indemnifiable Losses for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or for any indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy with respect to such Losses (which amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties shall be calculated, in each case, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery). In any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee actually recovers under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was previously indemnified hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Responsible Party a refund equal to the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery), if and solely to the extent that such amount of recovery would have reduced the amount to which the Indemnified Party would have been entitled pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(e), but not in excess of the aggregate amount previously paid to the Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect of such matter; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be required to repay to Seller any amounts recovered under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy to the extent such repayment would, after taking into account the deductible and other limitations under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, have the effect of reducing the amount of indemnifiable Losses actually recovered by Purchaser with respect to such claim below the amount of indemnified Losses to which Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to recover from Seller pursuant to this Article VII, but for this Section 7.4(e). Purchaser covenants and agrees that the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy will expressly exclude any right of subrogation against the Seller Group (other than with respect to Fraud).
(f) The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for a Loss only once under Article VII even if a claim or claims for indemnification in respect of such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.
(g) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Loss to the extent such Loss was included in or otherwise expressly taken into account in the determination of the Aggregate Purchase Price.
(h) The rights to indemnification of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VII shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto (including by any of such party’s advisors or representatives) or by reason of the fact that such party or any of such advisors or representatives knew or should have known that any representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.
(i) For purposes of determining the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Article III or the Seller set forth in Article IV and in calculating the amount of any Losses attributable thereto, any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or similar qualifications in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded, except that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) the use of the term “Material Contract” in any representation or warranty or (ii) any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.6(a).
(j) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover under this Article VII for any breach of any representations and warranties regarding Losses for Taxes with respect to taxable periods, or portions thereof, that end on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent such Losses arise from or are attributable to a breach of the representations or warranties contained in Sections 3.15(e), 3.15(k) or 3.15(l).
